Memory

I met him in the spring when i was 16
The most beautiful boy I've ever seen
He played the guitar and had ocean blue eyes
I was so in love then I finally realized

You can build a castle out of sand but it will fall
I could never seem to understand at all
Love comes then it goes away
If you ever have to chase it
It wasn't meant to stay
Stay

Finally I am free
And now you're nothing more than memory
Nothing ever seems
The way that it's supposed to be yeah
Nothing stays the same
So tell me who's the one to blame
'Cause you're just a memory
Yeah you're just a memory

I waited for him so many damn times
I could never control
The thoughts on my mind
I changed myself so he'd like me more
I'd sing him songs he would just ignore
But i tried to find the words to say
That will make him wanna stay
I thought we were meant to be
I guess I was wrong baby

You can build a castle outta sand but it will fall
I always had a tendency to want it all
You had me at hello
That's why i couldn't let you go

Finally I am free
And now you're nothing more than a memory
Nothing ever seems
The way that it's supposed to be yeah
Nothing stays the same
So tell me who's the one to blame
'Cause you're just a memory
Yeah you're just a memory

I couldn't make you mine
But i guess that is fine
I always wanted more
That's why I had to go
I couldn't make you mine
But i guess that is fine
I always wanted more
That's why i had to go

Finally I am free
And now you're nothing more than a memory
Nothing ever seems the way that it's supposed to be yeah
Nothing stays the same
So tell me who's the one to blame
'Cause you're just a memory
Yeah you're just a memory
