Staind, "Excess Bagage"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 it with me until I'm not alive
When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly to you
And I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with from you
I'm so sick of this place and 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 it with me 'til I'm not alive
