Nanci Griffith Things I Don't Need
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, and I turn around
And I’ve filled up the shelf
With things I don’t need that wear 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 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
Like a bag you unpack at the end of a trip
You’re wondering why did I take all of this?
These things I don’t need, weigh me down
I woke up today and I made up my mind
From now on I’ll Leave all those things I don’t need behind
