Pass Pass Me by (Home Town / Family Affairs) - Nils Bech

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
