Useless Things
I've been filling empty boxes
With dusty things once on display
I've been cutting all my losses
I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
Ten minutes in I came across it
The faded tag still read your name
And for years I thought I'd lost it
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
You glowed our first night in that taxi
The city lights lit up your face
It feels like years since you've been happy
How much of that am I to blame?
We keep our love inside a picture
And show our friends it's phony frame
You know I've never been a quitter
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
Someday I'll put aside my fears
You'll stand and try to block the door
And as you struggle through the tears
I'll stare blankly at the floor
Someday I'll give up trying to fix this
Someday I know you'll do the same
I'll hesitate cause it's my instinct
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
With dusty things once on display
I've been cutting all my losses
I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
Ten minutes in I came across it
The faded tag still read your name
And for years I thought I'd lost it
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
You glowed our first night in that taxi
The city lights lit up your face
It feels like years since you've been happy
How much of that am I to blame?
We keep our love inside a picture
And show our friends it's phony frame
You know I've never been a quitter
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
Someday I'll put aside my fears
You'll stand and try to block the door
And as you struggle through the tears
I'll stare blankly at the floor
Someday I'll give up trying to fix this
Someday I know you'll do the same
I'll hesitate cause it's my instinct
But I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I made a promise to myself I'd give these useless things away
I'd give these useless things away
