Tainted Memories

Funny how the days slip away
Everything seemed so easy
Now change is slowly creeping up on me
Tired of the games you play
To think there was a time when I thought
This would never end

We had ups and downs
And all that falls between
But we've hit the ground, yeah

And you said
What about us
What about the memories
Think of all the memories, baby
But forget about us
Cause I don't need the memories
All the tainted memories, baby

I once knew a world
Where all this empty drama was yet to be seen
But when illusion is shattered
And masks have been lifted
We can never re-write the final scene

I didn't open up
To you to cause you pain
I just had to step back from what can't remain

You said
What about us
What about the memories
Think of all the memories, baby
But forget about us
Cause I don't need the memories
All the tainted memories, baby

And I know
(you think you're silent but you're never saying nothing at all)
That you've given your heart and your soul
But I know
(That over time)
The distance has only grown

And you said
What about us
What about the memories
Think of all the memories, baby
But forget about us
Cause I don't need the memories
All the tainted memories, baby
