Old Memory
Echoes of a Forgotten Love: Ashton Shepherd's 'Old Memory' Tale
Lyrics
I've gotta pocket full of money I shouldn't spend
I have a pocket full of money that I shouldn't spend
To drink him away again
Planning to use the money to drown my sorrows in alcohol again
My heart stops cold in my chest
My heart suddenly feels cold and stops in my chest
There he is in the back of the bar lookin' his best
I see him at the back of the bar, looking his best
He passes me by and grabs a stranger's hand
He walks past me and holds a stranger's hand
He pulls her on the floor to dance
He takes her to the dance floor
Oh no, I don't understand
I feel confused and upset
He don't even know who I am
He doesn't recognize or remember who I am
He's just an old memory
He is a distant memory
That don't remember me
That memory doesn't remember me
And I can't get over him
I can't move on from him
Though it's been so long since he chose to leave
Even though it's been a long time since he left
And I'm a grown woman
Despite being a grown woman
I should've already set myself free
I should have already freed myself from the memories
From that old memory that don't remember me
From that old memory that doesn't recognize or recall me
He don't remember me
He doesn't remember me
But I remember the smell of his cologne
I recall the scent of his cologne
And tonight he has it on
He wears it tonight
And I remember the feel of his skin
I remember the feel of his skin
And I can't help but go back there again
I can't help but revisit those memories
No He's just an old memory
He remains just a distant memory
That don't remember me
That memory still doesn't remember me
And I can't get over him
I can't move on from him
Though it's been so long since he chose to leave
Despite the considerable time since he left
And I'm a grown woman
Even though I'm a mature woman
I should've already set myself free
I should have already released myself from those memories
From that old memory that don't remember me
From that old memory that doesn't remember me
He don't remember me
He doesn't remember me
