Love Is Just A Memory

Lyrics

Verse 1

You gave me love behind closed doors,
But love like that just begs for more.
You kissed me slow, then turned to ice,
And left me there to pay the price.

Pre-Refrain

You made me fall, you walked away,
Now all my nights forget the day.

Refrain

Love is just a memory – a shadow in my mind,
You promised me forever, but love was never kind.
Love is just a memory – no fire, no light,
Just echoes of a heartbeat in the middle of the night.
Oh baby, why’d you lie to me?
Now love is just a memory.

Verse 2

I still wear your scent like air,
A part of you is always there.
Your photo fades but not your voice,
You left me without giving a choice.

Pre-Refrain

I play our song, I see your face,
But love can’t live in empty space.

Refrain

Love is just a memory – a shadow in my mind,
You promised me forever, but love was never kind.
Love is just a memory – no fire, no light,
Just echoes of a heartbeat in the middle of the night.
Oh baby, why’d you lie to me?
Now love is just a memory.

Bridge

You said I’d always be the one...
Now I’m just the one who remembers.

Final Refrain

Love is just a memory – no more tears to cry,
Your smile was fake, your kiss goodbye.
Love is just a memory – I know it’s true,
I gave my all – and lost to you.
Now baby, I’m finally free...
Your love is just a memory.
