Things I Don’t Need Songtext
von Nanci Griffith

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 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 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 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
