and i can't figure out why i've been hanging on to all these things i've tried to leave behind me for so long

An amazing weekend. It was much-needed. Sucks to be back to reality, but these retreats wouldn't mean anything if we never had to leave.


"Loving things like you has wrecked my life: made me cry
Loving things like you has made me lose my mind
And I can't figure out why I've been hanging on
To all these things I've tried to leave behind me for so long

And I think it's time to find a better way to live my life
Loving all those things that keep me wrapped so tight

Cause everyone wants everyone elses everything
Sometimes the more we have the less we really gain
And I'm tired of loving all that money has to buy
Get out of my heart, out of my mind, leaving you behind
Get out of my heart, out of my mind, leaving you behind

Loving things like you has left me bruised: black & blue
Loving things like you has made me so confused
And I can't figure out what I've been waiting on
God, I can't be living life for things I know are wrong

Now I think it's time to write a better chapter in my life
Leaving all those things that keep me wrapped so tight

Cause everyone wants everyone elses everything
Sometimes the more we have the less we really gain
And I'm tired of loving all that money has to buy
Get out of my heart, out of my mind, leaving you behind
-Sanctus Real
