I took your pictures down
Laid them on the ground
And as I looked at each one
The memories passed
As the realization set in
I went looking for that box again
And as I packed up each one
The memories passed
As the truth became clear
I just wanted out of here
And as I said goodby to each one
The memories passed
So now the box sits under my bed
Hoping one day to be opened again
The words next not wanting to be spoken by a single one
The memories passed
It's hard to think how
That if you don't want me now
That I might again someday be your one
The memories passed
I'm afraid of going off false hopes
In the end being played as a dope
Because I want you and I'm not your one
The memories passed
I love you with all of my heart
And I truthfully never wanted us to part
It's evident that I'm the dumb one
The memories passed
I'd like to say come back fast
I know we can make it last
But that decision is not what you want
The memories passed
Just do me a favor and don't talk ever of us
Because it hurts deep inside way too much
Talk of us only again when I can be your one
The memories passed...
