Used to be that I could see

A reason to be happy 'cause I was free

But then recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me



Used to be that I could pretend

That I wasn't really hurt back then

But then recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me



'Cause mem'ries can be friends

Or they can take you to a place

The you never thought you'd be again

And take you to a place

That you never ever thought

That you would see again



'Cause mem'ries can be friends

Or they can take you to a place

The you never thought you'd be again

And take you to a place

That you never ever thought

That you would see again



Doesn't matter now who was wrong

The future is tomorrow 'cause the past is gone

And I'm findin' that I'm not as strong

As I thought that I used to be

'Cause recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me
