The Memory of You

from Let Me Love You by BettySoo

/

lyrics

I keep finding small forgotten places
Where you have held on to pieces of me
And you keep showing up, your face like a dagger
Pierces my memory
I pray all the time that I could just forget you
Never know that you existed
Never know you held my hand
I try so hard to wash away the memory of you

I know your smile is hiding somewhere close by
In the corner of a wallet, long forgotten
At the bottom of my closet, watching and waiting
To break my heart again
Find your way in
Find another way to leave me
Wishing I was done forgetting you

There’s not one thing of mine that you hold
That I could possibly want back from you
But somehow still I feel that you have stolen
Something very precious, something I can’t get back
I try so hard to wash away the memory of you
I know your smile is hiding somewhere close by
In the corner of a wallet, long forgotten
At the bottom of my closet, watching and waiting
To break my heart again
Find your way in
Find another way to leave me
Find another way to stay

When I think of the best things in my life
You are not counted among them at all
Sometimes I want to show you how far I’ve come
From the pain you held over me so long
Sometimes I’d rather hide every good thing
So that you could not take them away
I try so hard to wash away the memory of you

I know your smile is hiding somewhere
In the corner of a wallet, long forgotten
At the bottom of my closet, watching and waiting
To break my heart again
Find your way in
Find another way to leave me
Wishing I was done forgetting you
