Lyrics
I kept hoping that things would change
A perfect routine becomes mundane
Thought I was livin' the sporting life
Turned out to be a switchblade knife
So I taking some of my self respect
It was still intact the last time I checked
My heart didn't notice the warning flags
Misguided hope is not in my bags
I won't be needin' this guilt trip though
It's time for me to let that go
When push comes to shove
Suitcase love
Most of my honesty went in next
And I'll need some happiness I should expect
I know I'll keep the boys in the band
This old guitar and a few dollars on hand
I won't be needin' this guilt trip though
It's time for me to let that go
When push comes to shove
Suitcase love
I'll gather some memories and photographs too
And I'll miss those conversations we'd get into
But I won't moan no I won't cry
It's just I'm just not very good at sayin' goodbye
I won't be needin' this guilt trip though
It's time for me to let that go
When push comes to shove
When push comes to shove
Suitcase love
