Nanci Griffith - Things I Don't Need lyrics

This house is full of memories that aren't mine Pieces, I thought I would clear out over time Life takes over, I get ahead of myself I turn around and I've filled up the shelf With things I don't need that weigh me down Things I don't want but still keep around I woke up today and I made up my mind From now on I'll leave all those things I don't need behind The one thing that's not on the shelf is my heart since it fell Picking it up is a thing that I've never have done well True love always seems to fly by me I wonder if it's one of those things I don't need Things I don't need that weigh me down Things I don't want but still keep around I woke up today and I made up my mind From now on I'll leave all those things I don't need behind Like a bag you unpack at the end of a trip And you're wondering why did I take all of this? These things I don't need that weigh me down Things I don't want but still keep around I woke up today and made up my mind From now on I'll leave all those things I don't need behind From now on I'll leave all those things I don't need behind
