8 Years Old

Just like that, I'm eight years old
I'm payin' for your mistakes, still payin' for 'em
It takes me back, I'm all alone
With people talkin' around me, only talkin'
I'm in that house that's not a home
There is no escape, no runnin' from it
I was so young when my mind grew cold

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls, they're never coming down
I hang your photo on every new fracture

I see a "sorry" on your face
I never heard the words, though, never heard 'em
I hear regret in the way you pray
I don't know who's listening, I just don't
You're crying for your mistakes, crying from the blame
You're crying for the past you let get away
You're trying, I'm trying
But when it mattered, you didn't change

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls, they're never coming down
I hang your photo on every new fracture

My memories on rewind
I'm learning how to be alright
I got my suitcase at the door
I'm going through, through
My failures on the desk
And my regrets spilled on the floor
But I don't live here anymore
Yeah, I am through, through

You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out (spat me out)
I built my walls, and they're never coming down
I hang your photo on every new fracture

Just like that, I'm eight years old
I'm paying for your mistakes, still payin' for 'em
