Paint The Wards – Excess Baggage

lyrics english

Sleepless nights, yeah, they have been there for me.
Reading every page three times, till I heard the door.
`T was cruel to see your love had died, and reincarnated somewhere else.
Oh, how long had you lain there, already gone?

And I`m still looking for new ways to blame
Myself, for how you broke my heart.

To hide your feelings, well that`s not easy now.
Your quest for answers, that don`t matter anyhow.
To find your troubles are all just in your mind.
For what it`s worth, the past is left behind.

What if I could have been better in some way?
Would you then have held on to dwindling love?
And every time I defended you when all my friends told me to leave.
Clinging to the wishful hope that you might change.

And I`m still looking for new ways to blame
Myself, for the bitch that you were.

To hide your feelings, well that`s not easy now.
Your quest for answers, that don`t matter anyhow.
To find your troubles are all just in your mind.
For what it`s worth, the past is left behind.
The past is left behind. The past is left behind.

So what was it you didn`t find in me? Was it too much? Not enough?
I know I`m not perfect. But who is? So why didn`t you just
Talk to me? You should have complained to me first instead of someone else.
But of course not. It was easier to take from me what you liked, and use a substitute for the rest.
When I think of all the time I`ve wasted. Wasted with you. With your stories.
Wasted believing that I was wrong. That I didn`t deserve love and hating the face in the mirror staring back at me.

To hide your feelings, well that`s not easy now.
Your quest for answers, that don`t matter anyhow.
To find your troubles are all just in your mind.
For what it`s worth, the past is left behind.
The past is left behind. The past is left behind.
