I sat down to make a list
Of things that I don't need
Starting with this heart you see
That beats inside of me

Without love to help it bleed
There is no need for it to beat
So these things that I don't need
I'll toss them off into the breeze

Next I moved onto my mind
When all it does is to remind
Of the days and of the times
When I was yours and you were mine

The ears my dear that used to hear
Your sweet voice when you were near
Plus my eyes that made it clear
There's not much to see without you here

Then took a look at both my hands
My two arms that used to wrap
When all is done and all is said
What I once held there's nothing left

The feet on me that used to move
When I walked beside of you
They're not much use to tell the truth
When without you what can I do

Easy enough to see in what I say
Why I would throw myself away
No longer whole is how I'm made
Without you here to make my day
