Just a Memory (Original Version)
I thought if I made you smile then I could change things
If I made you laugh then I could win
I thought we'd create our own world, baby
Didn't think we'd end 'fore we'd begin
I kept all the photos and the cards you wrote me
They lay so quiet in a drawer
Every word you wrote I'd seen before, baby
From you they meant so much more
Now you're just a memory
A chapter written in the past
You're a story of what could've been
If the chapter of the book wasn't the last
I wasn't looking for a fairytale
But I was caught up in a dream
I hoped would translate to reality
Reality doesn't play for my team
Countless times I waved you goodbye
'Til a distant dot was what you became
'Til one day goodbye became a farewell, baby
And you became a picture in a frame
Now you're just a memory
A chapter written in the past
You're a story of what could've been
If the chapter of the book wasn't the last
If dreams are the life we find inside ourselves
If life is the love we find in someone else
If love is a way to risk everything for the things that we want and need
I'm fine with making memories
I keep turning pages, baby
I keep reading all the same
I've read that book so much I got paper cuts from it
Maybe I find comfort in the pain
If I made you laugh then I could win
I thought we'd create our own world, baby
Didn't think we'd end 'fore we'd begin
I kept all the photos and the cards you wrote me
They lay so quiet in a drawer
Every word you wrote I'd seen before, baby
From you they meant so much more
Now you're just a memory
A chapter written in the past
You're a story of what could've been
If the chapter of the book wasn't the last
I wasn't looking for a fairytale
But I was caught up in a dream
I hoped would translate to reality
Reality doesn't play for my team
Countless times I waved you goodbye
'Til a distant dot was what you became
'Til one day goodbye became a farewell, baby
And you became a picture in a frame
Now you're just a memory
A chapter written in the past
You're a story of what could've been
If the chapter of the book wasn't the last
If dreams are the life we find inside ourselves
If life is the love we find in someone else
If love is a way to risk everything for the things that we want and need
I'm fine with making memories
I keep turning pages, baby
I keep reading all the same
I've read that book so much I got paper cuts from it
Maybe I find comfort in the pain
