I sit here
and look at this photograph
of you and me
smiling so happily
where have those times gone
when we were so strong
when every day was the happiest day
to be alive
every night now i lay here and cry
wondering why
wondering how
I could ever tell you
that I don't love you anymore
and that I'm leaving
these are my memories
thats all they'll ever be
these are my memories
my mental photographs
of you and me
if you weren't mine
since when was i ever yours
if i wasn't yours then
what was i living this life for
these are my memories
thats all they'll ever be
these are my memories
my mental photographs
of you and me
i just wanna run away
cause i can't take this
you won't understand
my hearts breaking
my tears are here
because i have to
look you in the eyes
and tell you
i don't love you anymore
these are my memories
thats all they'll ever be
these are my memories
my mental photographs
of you and me
through it all
I stood by you
and now i have to tell you
that this is all through
because i can't take the lies anymore
because my hearts lying on the floor
broken and shattered
over and over and over again
(chorus 2x) these are my memories
thats all they'll ever be
these are my memories
my mental photographs
of you and me
since then
i remember when
i was happy
but happiness is an illusion
anymore
