Heirlooms

Heirlooms Ooh I know that you don't know me yet I know your name but not the rest Thought I was good on my own Then I found somebody and made him home You and me, we've still got far to go But before we do, I wanted you to know That I hope you get my brown eyes And nothing from my darker side How my mother cares too much The way my lover lifts me up And I know I'm not perfect, but You can have the best I've got All the things I wanna give to you I'll pass them down like heirlooms Pass them down like heirlooms I'll carry the weight of my past But you won't have to bear any of that All my selfish ways and anxious heart I'll forget when I hold you in my arms And I hope you get my brown eyes And nothing from my darker side How my mother cares too much The way my lover lifts me up And I know I'm not perfect, but You can have the best I've got All the things I wanna give to you I'll pass them down like heirlooms I'll pass them down like heirlooms All of the good, none of the bad, all of the lessons that I've ever had Heirlooms All of the good, none of the bad, all of the lessons that I've ever had I'll pass them down like heirlooms All of the good, none of the bad, all of the lessons You and me, we've still got far to go But before we do, I wanted you to know That I hope you get my brown eyes And nothing from my darker side How my mother cares too much The way my lover lifts me up And I know I'm not perfect, but You can have the best I've got All the things I wanna give to you I'll pass them down like heirlooms All the pieces that I've saved for you I'll pass them down like heirlooms
