I know this isn’t memory
You and I never had much time
We tried to fit within the space
Of other lovers and doubtful minds

In all those years together
We could never figure where to go
That borrowed car just left us
Stranded out there all alone

I lead you on through drunken nights
You had your way and then were gone
These stories bring us closer
These myths will linger on

When love is lost something remains
Growing stronger through the years
A scented flower takes the place
Of loneliness and pain and tears

I remember, and that will last.
Memory ain’t nothing if you have no past.
