The memory of you

So what am I waiting for
For all the pictures to fade
Into a new life, a new world, a new dream
Or a new masquerade?

I’m on that same old road again
No nothing changes
Sometimes it’s making sense and then
Then I’m hearing back your lies
Kicking up the dust into my eyes
It’s the memory of you

I never thought I’d see the day come
And you know I’ve seen a few
But how could every face in every crowd
See the memory of you

You put me on a hard road
You’re the only thing I knew
And the only thing I’m sure of
Is the memory of you
The memory of you

Tried to listen to my future talking
But the echo’s all too clear
And you appear looking down at me again
Don’t you know I’ve walked a thousand miles to be alone
And still your chains are in these bones
I’ve told the world that we’ve passed through
And still the memory of you
Takes me to the same old place
Trying to find a world without your face
It’s the memory of you
It’s the memory of you

I’m still walking down that road
No nothing changes
Sometimes it’s making sense and then 
I’m lost again

You put me on a hard road
You’re the only thing I knew
And the only thing I’m sure of

The memory of you
