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
