There's a white mark on my hand

Where I wore our wedding band

Had to force myself to lay it down

So I put it in my drawer

Just can't wear that ring no more

I've carried it around for years



There's a picture that I've had

In my wallet hid in back

The one I like the best of me and you

Gonna take it out today

And make myself throw it away

I've carried it around for years



Clean the shelves and sweep the floors

Hide things in the back of drawers

Take down the curtains that you made

Birthday cards and valentines

Everything you ever signed

Take 'em all and throw 'em all away



Clean the shelves and sweep the floors

Hide things in the back of drawers

Take down the curtains that you made

But some things you can't put down

Like the way I love you sounds

I'll carry that around for years



There's some things you can't put down

Like the way I love you sounds

I'll carry that around for years
