Rey.OH.eight - Memory lyrics

[Hook: Tom Szoch] Now you're just a memory/ Somebody I know longer know/ Feels like it's been about a century/ Another lifetime feels so long ago/ And you oughta know I don't hold grudge nah/ Forgiven you for all of the pain/ And you oughta know if we never talk much/ Hope we'll catch up in Eternity/ 2x [Verse 1: Illijam] You ran across my mind today, I see the dust/ You kicked up like Road Runners, I'm thinking bout us/ Guess I'm wilin when chasing like I am Wile E./ Meanwhile you are a mile ahead, and it's unlikely/ I'll finally catch up, so my mind is trickin/ I see something shiny as I'm pining to look in the distance/ But that ain't you, my mind projects an image of you from my pain/ Who berates me for still caring and hurting; why the disdain?/ I tell my mind's mirages that that ain't the friend I really knew/ We a**ume a lot from silence but I hope that isn't really you/ See I recall when after we'd been broken up for 5 months/ We ran into each other in July in Dunkin Donuts/ It was awkward we were shocked, you asked me for a hug/ How do you make mere small talk with one you used to love?/ But I digress, sometimes I feared you hated me; I just didn't know/ That night I realized you still care; things are just different though/ [Verse 2: Illijam] Pardon me, pardon me, you were a part of me/ Only forget if I have a lobotomy/ Memories fade over time? Well probably/ But our time together does mean a lot to me/ Man I feel that way, I'm happy we happened/ But it happened that we didn't last by the Hand of the Captain/ We weren't happenstance or a mistake, despite mistakes we did make/ That time with you was a blessing, that nothing can negate/ Don't take for granted when outta seven billion human hearts/ Two hearts for even a time share a special bond/ That's so rare, I thank God/ Even while, I move on/ My heart will always recall, you as one of my closest friends/ Who I dreamed with and cared for when I was a young man/ Whose family I loved and and who adopted me/ We didn't lose the good of our past despite the injury/ So know I pray that you love our God/ And like them old days, count everything loss/ [Bridge: Illijam] I'm so at peace now, have fond thoughts when I think about you/ My heart is free now, but I still hope you think well of me too/ And things will never be the same, but we're a part of each other and that's ok/ Heaven could tell, to you I bid a very fond farewell/
