Pass Pass Me By (Home Town / Family Affairs)

Pass, pass me by
Shift me, put me down
I've learned to travel in myself without you
I tell you lies, suppress to make you proud
I've learned to travel in myself without you
To be myself I had to be without you

Expand, increase, form a solid shame
I had no choice, the pain you caused, I left you
Out of my heart, told myself I was fine
For years I played that part and now I miss you
And now I see how much, how much I miss you

Pass, pass me by
Whatever you do like
I still believe that I'm not worthy of you
I tell you lies, suppress to make you like
I've learned to travel in myself without you
To be myself I had to be without you

Expand, increase, by this tree I'm safe
Frightened to believe the things you show me
She shut me down, with her praying arm
And from that day, the shame, the shame won't leave me
She reaffirmed the things that they had taught me
