Excess Baggage

Well, I know the words

But I can't really speak them

To you

And I hide all the pain

That I've gained with my wisdom

From you

And I'm eaten alive

By what I hold inside

All the things that I live with

I can't easily hide

And I'm left here with nothing

Nothing to live for

But you

It's not easy to hide

All this damage inside

And I'll carry you with me

Until I'm not alive

When you look at my face

Does it seem just as ugly

To you?

I can't seem to erase

All the scars I have lived with

From you

I'm so sick of this place

This taste in my mouth

'Cause of you I can't figure

What I'm all about

And I'm left here with nothing

Nothing to live for

But you

It's not easy to hide

All this damage inside

I'll carry you with me

'Til I'm not alive
