[Verse 1] You said “Feelings are for birthdays” Then forgot mine that same year Taught me how to change a tire Never taught me how to steer Hand-me-down jacket Smell of coffee And apologies half-done You said “Toughen up It’s nothing” Guess that’s where I learned to run [Chorus] I learned this from you Every joke I crack to dodge the truth Every eye-roll when it hurts too much Every “I’m fine” instead of “I’m crushed” Yeah I learned this from you All the walls I build and crash right through Thought I’d burned your script But it bleeds right through All the things I swore I’d never do I learned this from you [Verse 2] You loved giving out advice Like coupons no one asked to use “How ‘bout you just get over it” While you’re drowning in the news Dinner table Silent warfare Forks and knives and bitten tongues You called it “keeping it together” I just call it coming undone [Chorus] I learned this from you Every joke I crack to dodge the truth Every eye-roll when it hurts too much Every “I’m fine” instead of “I’m crushed” Yeah I learned this from you All the walls I build and crash right through Thought I’d burned your script But it bleeds right through All the things I swore I’d never do I learned this from you [Bridge] You were doing what you knew Somebody taught it all to you All that silence All that strain Passed down like a family name I don’t hate you I’m just tired Of rehearsing old rewired pain So I’m saying what you couldn’t say “I’m hurt I’m scared But I’ll stay” [Chorus] I learned this from you But I’m done confusing hurt with truth Gonna feel it when it hurts too much Say “I’m not fine” when I’m feeling crushed Yeah I learned this from you What I want to heal What I want to lose Your shadow’s big But I’m walking through I’ll break the things I got from you And keep the parts that feel like you

rock, Tight early-2000s pop-punk: palm-muted power chords, brisk tempo, punchy live drums, male vocals with snarky verses and shout-along gang vocals on the hook. Guitars stay crunchy and choppy in the verses, then widen with octave leads and stacked harmonies in the chorus. Bridge drops to cleaner guitars and exposed vocal for the emotional turn, then slams back into a final, anthemic chorus., punk, emotional, heartfelt, pop, male vocals
