Memories

I see your pictures on my phone
I feel your presence in these sheets
But now I lay here all alone
With nothing more than memories
I know you had to let me go
'Cause you no longer needed me
Oh how I wish it wasn't so
But it's how it has to be

So now I hope
That the things you want will be the things you need
But I won't let go
Of the memories we've made
They'll never leave

I tried to be a better man
So that I would be yours to keep
But it seems that you had other plans
And now I'm feeling incomplete
Oh I don't understand just why
That bad things happen to nice guys
I thought that my vision was fine
I guess I've been blind

But it's out of my control
On the other side, I know the grass is green
So I'll try and go forth
Leave the pain behind and keep the memories

So now I hope
That the things you want will be the things you need
But I won't let go
Of the memories we've made
They'll never leave
They'll never leave
