Memories

By: Lanie Honaker

(intro)

Please take these memories,

These bittersweet memories.

Take them away from me.

(chorus)

All of these tedious,

All of these hideous,

All of these almost beautiful, annoying, memories.

Take them away,

Get them away.

(verse:1)

I can't take it anymore,

This living in the past.

Wrapped up in shared mementos,

Haunting me for an eternity

The more I try and forget

The more I remember

Detail for detail

Image for image

And it's all so painstakingly clear

(chorus)

All of these tedious,

All of these hideous,

All of these almost beautiful, annoying, memories.

Take them away,

Get them away.

(verse:2)

Erase them from my mind

It's now time to let them die

Too many times I have found comfort in the bite of cold steel

Too many times I have cried and yet I remember them still.

(verse:3)

So now I ask one more time

Please take these memories of mine

Erase them from my mind's eye

Never to be seen again

(exit)

Please take these memories,

These bittersweet memories.

Take them away from me.
