Can't Take Your Memory
Eternal Echoes: Don Johnson's Melodic Reflections on Unforgettable Memories
Lyrics
You can pack your bags, take a walk
Expressing the option of leaving or departing
Throw your hands in the air, refuse to talk
Choosing not to communicate or engage
Swear to be damned, it was all a bad dream
Swearing that past experiences were a nightmare
Leaving me with a silent scream
Feeling intense emotional distress despite outward calmness
You can take the photos off the walls
Removing physical reminders of the relationship
Leave empty echoes in the halls
Leaving behind a hollow and vacant space
I still see your face when I look around
Continuously recalling the image of the departed person
I see your lips move, but there's no sound
Seeing signs of communication without actual words
You can throw away reminders of you and me
Discarding tangible reminders of the past relationship
But you can't take your memory
Emphasizing the inability to erase memories
No, you can't take that part of you from me
Asserting the enduring nature of memories
Can't take your memory
Reaffirming the impossibility of removing memories
It's so deep in the heart of me
Stating the profound impact of memories within
I know some day I'll break free
Believing in the eventual freedom from reminiscing
From thinkin' 'bout those used-to-be's
Struggling with thoughts of past experiences
Even though you're long since gone
Despite the absence, certain aspects linger
It's those little things about you that keep hangin' on
Noting the persistence of small, significant memories
You can throw away reminders of you and me
Reiteration of discarding reminders but not memories
But you can't take your memory
Highlighting the lasting nature of memories
No, you can't take that part of you from me
Emphasizing the immutability of personal memories
Can't take your memory
Repeating the impossibility of removing memories
It's so deep in the heart of me
Reiterating the deep emotional connection to memories
It's no good to dwell upon it they say
Advising against fixating on the past
I've found a thousand ways to make it through each day
Discovering coping mechanisms to endure each day
Then the sun goes down, and the shadows grow tall
Evening triggers memories despite efforts to move on
My mind goes to you like it's nothing at all
Constantly drawn back to thoughts of the departed
Cause you're still in my heart
Reaffirming the presence of the departed in the heart
You're still in my heart, baby
Reiterating the emotional presence of the departed
You're still in my heart
Confirming the enduring emotional connection
Can't take your memory
Repeating the inability to erase memories
No, you can't take that part of you from me
Emphasizing the enduring nature of personal memories
You can take my heart, tear it apart
Expressing vulnerability but asserting memory's resilience
But you'll never, never take your memory
Stressing the impossibility of erasing personal memories
Cause you're still in my heart
Affirming the ongoing emotional presence of the departed
