Lyrics

Suitcase

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wonder if I took these scars

And poured dirt in 'em

Would I grow me a brand new heart

Would love work again

If I keep lettin' you hurt me

I might have to plead insanity

'Cause everything in me is telling me to go

'Cause I can’t keep on crying when I see ya

Messing up my make up

Thinking you gon’ change

But everything’s the same

Started keeping secrets

Got my heart in pieces

I’mma ‘bout to pick myself up, and go

You gon’ wake up in the morn

And find out that I’m already gone

Got a one way ticket, here's your goodbye song

And while you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

Boy had everything

I never thought about another man

Gave you so much control on me

Your love really had me bugging me

If I don’t let you go, you’ll just keep on hurting me more and more

‘Cause everything in me is telling me to go

'Cause I can’t keep on crying when I see ya

Messing up my make up

Thinking you gon’ change

But everything’s the same

Starting keeping secrets

Got my heart in pieces

I’mma ‘bout to pick myself up, and go

You gon’ wake up in the morn

And find out that I’m already gone

Got a one way ticket, here's your goodbye song

And while you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

One foot out the door

You won’t hurt me no more

Got my things, I’m on my way

There’s no reason for me to stay

Cause I finally see the truth

And I refuse to be used

I’m so cool not loving you

Zipping up my suitcase

You gon’ wake up in the morn

And find out that I’m already gone

Got a one way ticket, here's your goodbye song

And while you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase

While you’re trying to explain

I’ll be zipping up my suitcase
