about
i wrote this song for my guitar, Ashton. i guess in the end, it turned into something much more.
lyrics
peel me from the wreckage of my heart
dust me off, paint me new
stitch me up, plaster over all my cracks
for i am but secondhand
and i might not work perfectly
i may skip a couple tracks
but i will try as long as you need me
for i am but secondhand
cause its been a long time since i
belonged to anyone
and i might forget a couple things
but as long as you want me, as long as you do
ill be here to sing for you
so please dont take me and put me on a shelf
for i am meant to be used
ive spent too long in the dark and in the dust
so wont you treat me as if im new
and i know i might be missing a couple parts
i admit that im not whole
but like trash into treasure, like copper into gold
ill have a purpose as long as im yours
and i might not be perfect
love me, it's all i ask
for i am but secondhand
