But still I've got that cork
Little pieces of my past that I shouldn't have to share
We danced all night stayed out so late
So now I try to give more than I take
We thought we were stars closing down the bars
In the back of the bottom drawer
And now I cherish love a whole lot more
But I'm a better woman for him thanks to my yesterdays
And those Mardi grass beads from '98
Yeah we went to far in his daddy's car
I keep them because I want to stay right were I'm at
A birthday card from my first boyfriend
I'm reminded of my rights and wrongs
It's my way or no way at all
But I wouldn't know where I belong with out this box of stuff
I don't want to mess this up
Has a poem on it that didn't quiet rhyme but it made me cry
He signed it I love you so I gave in
And a stolen key from an old hotel room door
I don't keep these things because I'm longing to go back
And I bite my tongue, fight the urge to say
And a dear Jane letter from a different guy
I'm not trying to hide these things from the man I love today
But the man who sleeps beside me doesn't know its even there
He broke up with me and he told me I'm not always right
And that champagne was cheap
A napkin that is stained with time
In the back of the bottom drawer
