It's gonna take
A lot more than a memory
For I had the real thing too long
I keep telling myself
I'll be all right
With the memory
That you left behind
But it will take
A lot more than a memory
To keep me from losing my mind
My memories won't last
As a shield from the past
They break down
And cry out when we're alone
I need a lot more than a memory
For I had the real thing too long
For a while
I can pull myself together
With a memory
And a drink for my heart
But it will take
A lot more than a memory
To keep me from falling apart
