leave the memories alone

so here i am with my thoughts of you

and this world i've left for me

stoic faces when i think of you

and how i once believed

so now you call me

but you know i won't let you through

i've myself to decieve

so leave the memories alone

i don't want to see

the way it is

as to how it used to be

leave the memories alone

don't change a thing

and i'll hold you here in my memory

so i find me in your garden now

a sad smile for the scene

and all the flowers that we planted now

taken by the weeds

but in my minds eye

you know they still bloom for me

they stand tall there

in that summer breeze

leave the memories alone

i don't want to see

the way it is

as to how it used to be

leave the memories alone

don't change a thing

and i'll just hold you here in my memory

in my memory

yeah

so leave the memories alone

i don't want to see

the way it is

as to how it used to be

leave the memories alone

don't change a thing

and i'll hold you in my memory

you'll never change

you'll never change

you'll never change

you will never change
