This is some gorgeous lyric writing and I think you did a great job of translating it into the track

great production choices! I love how your brain works!

This melody is so great and make me remember! I very enjoy and like this song!

Love it so much!! You sound so good on it. Love the lyrics!

With help from Jake and Raven, I was able to bring this one to life. I aim to break toxic cycles whenever I can, but it's easier said than done, and songwriting has helped me work through the process of becoming better. I hope owning up to where I fall short helps people with a similar upbringing do the same, so the next generation doesn't have to go through it. Sending my love <3

Lyrics:
I came back and I was
Six pounds lighter 
That doesn’t sound like a lot
But my clothes don’t fit
So I’m crying in my closet (A)
I came back and it was
Like I was gone for year 
It’s like I never made a home for myself here
It’s like I left your house and I just appeared 

Out of body
Out of mind 
I’m looking for shape to define

Everyone I love looks a lot like you
When I get scared they’ll hurt me like you do
Everyone I love looks a lot like you
So I’ll just hurt them like you taught me to

What have I done
Just to gain back control
It’s just me one to one
And I’m sick of it                                  
And now my best friends have to take my shit
What have I done
I made my lover scared 
And now he’s staring into space
Ripping out his hair 
And I can’t find God anywhere 

Out of body
Out of mind 
I’m looking for shape to define

Everyone I love looks a lot like you
When I get scared they’ll hurt me like you do
Everyone I love looks a lot like you
So I’ll just hurt them like you taught me to

My first bully didn’t shove me in a locker 
She tucked me in and she kissed my head
I’m so sorry I’m not what you wanted
But I wish I was and I’m exhausted
I’m exhausted 
Mmmmm
Ooooooo

Everyone I love looks a lot like you
When I get scared they’ll hurt me like you do
Everyone I love looks a lot like you
So I’ll just hurt them like you taught me to
