Puttin' Memories Away
Farewell to Yesterday: Embracing Change in 'Puttin' Memories Away'
Lyrics
I threw our rings into a box
I discarded our wedding rings and placed them in a box
Filled with broken memories and fools gold
The box contains shattered memories and worthless imitations of gold
And I woke up again last night in this lonely bed without you to hold
Last night, I awoke in this empty bed, longing for your presence
And I walked around the house pullin' pictures off the walls
I wandered through the house, removing pictures from the walls
Just like I've done a hundred times before
A familiar routine, repeating what I've done many times before
Makin sure I've got 'em all
Ensuring that I've collected all the pictures
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Makin sure I've got the hard to find
I'm meticulously gathering the subtle reminders of you
Little things that make me think about you
Focusing on the small details that trigger memories of our time together
'Cause I'm tired if this house always breakin' me down, feelin blue
The constant distress in this house is wearing me down and causing sadness
No there's nothing left to say
There's nothing more to be said
I'm puttin' memories away
I am storing away the memories, ready to move on
Well, yesterday I found your dress
Recently, I discovered your dress from the past
I guess there's some things I missed in our room
Realizing there are aspects of our life I overlooked in our shared space
But it didn't break me down the second that I found it like it used to
Unlike before, finding it didn't immediately shatter me
With red wine and tears I've been gatherin' all the years we spent together
Using red wine and tears, I've been collecting the memories of our time
I need to move on
Recognizing the need to move forward
'Cause I know you're gone forever
Accepting that you are gone forever
Repeat Chorus
< em > Repeat Chorus
No there's nothing left to say
There's no more dialogue left
I'm puttin' memories away
I am storing away the memories, ready to move on
