"New Person, Old Place" lyrics

"New Person, Old Place"

I used to stay up on the off chance that you might call me back
I used to go shopping for pain go through pictures it's all I had
I'd sift through our memories and live there even when I wasn't sad
I used to, I used to, but now I don't do that

You used to be able to dictate each feeling inside my head
Drag me through every trauma over and over again
Cause if I was crazy then I'd still be yours I'd always come back
You used to be able to, now you don't do that

What used to hurt doesn't hurt anymore
What used to work doesn't work anymore
And that's just true it's not even brave
Can't be a new person in an old place

I used to take all of your shit and carry it on my back
I'd leave what I needed behind to make room for whatever you had
I believed that I had to be strong just for you so you wouldn't crack
I used to, I used to, but now I don't do that

What used to hurt doesn't hurt anymore
What used to work doesn't work anymore
And that's just true it's not even brave
Can't be a new person in an old place

I used to, but now I don't do that

What used to hurt doesn't hurt anymore
What used to work doesn't work anymore
And that's just true it's not even brave
Can't be a new person in an old place
I knew it would happen I just had to wait
Can't be a new person in an old place
Can't be a new person in an old place
Can't be a new person in an old place
