Things I Don't Need Lyrics - The Loving Kind - 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 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
