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
