I know I do some things that make you so confused
One minute I'm so in love and the next I can't stand you
But if u may ask it's just the things that you do
that reminds me of all of the mess that I've been through
I got this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someones done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
Heartache and pain I just can't do it again
So I look for the worst and brace myself for the hurt
But nobody has ever treated me this way
Please be patient with me coz I want you to stay but I got all
This baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someone's done to me
I don't mean to hurt you [x2]
It's no way to be livin' my life
But I can't get it out of my mind
You know I love you yes I do
So don't, don't we get it confused
Don't be confused coz boy u know I realy do love you
Want you to stay wit me I never ment to hurt you baby
It won't be easy gettin rid of all this baggage baby
I got all of this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings
It's what someone's done to me
I don't mean to hurt you [x2]
