Some Things You Just Can't Throw Away

Wedding day pictures all over the floor
But you ain’t married to him anymore
You can’t bring yourself to just toss them away
So pack 'em up in a box 'cause we’re leavin' today
I got a brand new couch and a new mattress too
A third floor apartment with a way-better view
Bring whatever you need honey, hell, I don’t mind
Can’t expect you to leave all the memories behind
We can find place for all of this stuff
'Cause that’s what you do when it’s time to grow up
You learn how to live with it day after day
There’s some things you just can’t throw away
I got a secret I carry around
I wonder if he’s lookin' like me by now
I still send letters and money sometimes
He screams back the silence that rings in my mind
But we can find place for all of this stuff
'Cause that’s what you do when it’s time to grow up
You learn how to live with it day after day
There’s some things you just can’t throw away
Oh, the things we just can’t throw away
I’ve been around, Love, and I know you have too
And nobody gets back to shiny and new
Everybody’s got baggage they can’t leave behind
I’ll help you with yours, honey, if you help me with mine
And we can find place for all of this stuff
'Cause that’s what you do when we have to grow up
We learn how to live with it day after day
There’s some things we just can’t throw away
Oh, the things we just can’t throw away
The things we just can’t throw away
