Burn A Memory
I could burn away the taste of you
With a double shot of 90 proof
I could light up your last cigarette
Put your pictures in the fireplace
Strike a match and watch us fade away
But somehow there's still something left
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
Every night it's in my head again
The way it felt to have you in my hands
Like tryin' to hold on to smoke
Now we're ashes baby, dust to dust
And all I want is something I can touch
But I can't love a ghost
Why can't I let you go?
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
Embers they all fade to gray
But somehow I still hold a flame
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
With a double shot of 90 proof
I could light up your last cigarette
Put your pictures in the fireplace
Strike a match and watch us fade away
But somehow there's still something left
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
Every night it's in my head again
The way it felt to have you in my hands
Like tryin' to hold on to smoke
Now we're ashes baby, dust to dust
And all I want is something I can touch
But I can't love a ghost
Why can't I let you go?
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
Embers they all fade to gray
But somehow I still hold a flame
No matter how hard I try to lose you
No matter how hard I make believe
I can start as many fires as I want to
But you can't burn a memory
