Just a memory

from The simple life by Bart de Win

/

about

A melancholic love song.

lyrics

Just a memory

We had a life together
Now it's just a memory
I guess my love could never tell you
How much you really meant to me
You're far away now
But I'm still with you
Don’t worry I’ll get by
Like I always do

But the butterflies keep coming
When I hear our song
Or a sound that's too familiar
But the feeling's always wrong
Never brings you back
Only keeps you near
And it will never leave me
So there's always the fear
Of losing you again
And you're not even here

I've got people of my own
But they don't mean a lot
When I think of you and me
Of what we should have got
You’re far away now
But I’m still with you
I’ll get by, yes I will
Like I always do

And the butterflies keep coming
When I hear our song
Or a sound that's too familiar
But the feeling's always wrong
Never brings you back
Only keeps you near
And it will never leave me
So there's always the fear of
Losing you again
And you’re not even here
