Burn A Memory
Eternal Flames of Unforgettable Love
Lyrics
I could burn away the taste of you
I could eliminate the lingering essence of you
With a double shot of 90 proof
Using a strong, double shot of 90 proof alcohol
I could light up your last cigarette
I could symbolically end our connection by lighting your last cigarette
Put your pictures in the fireplace
Symbolically discarding our shared memories by burning your pictures
Strike a match and watch us fade away
Igniting a match and observing our connection dissipate
But somehow there's still something left
Despite these efforts, remnants of our relationship persist
No matter how hard I try to lose you
Regardless of my attempts to forget you
No matter how hard I make believe
Even if I pretend and deceive myself
I can start as many fires as I want to
I can initiate various actions to erase our history
But you can't burn a memory
Yet, memories cannot be completely erased
Every night it's in my head again
Each night, the memories resurface in my mind
The way it felt to have you in my hands
Recalling the sensation of having you close
Like tryin' to hold on to smoke
Comparing the difficulty to holding onto smoke
Now we're ashes baby, dust to dust
We are now reduced to ashes, from life to dust
And all I want is something I can touch
Yearning for something tangible in the aftermath
But I can't love a ghost
Unable to love a mere memory or ghost
Why can't I let you go?
Expressing difficulty in moving on from the past
No matter how hard I try to lose you
Despite my persistent attempts to forget you
No matter how hard I make believe
Even when I create illusions to escape reality
I can start as many fires as I want to
I can ignite numerous emotional fires, yet
But you can't burn a memory
Memories endure, resistant to being erased
Embers they all fade to gray
As the passion and intensity fade away
But somehow I still hold a flame
There remains a subtle spark within me
No matter how hard I try to lose you
Persisting in my efforts to forget you
No matter how hard I make believe
Despite the make-believe and self-deception
I can start as many fires as I want to
Engaging in actions to erase the past
But you can't burn a memory
Yet, memories are indelible and cannot be destroyed
