Well, we walked and we talked and, You said we were better off alone. But these words will mean nothing, When I'm sitting on my own.
A memory of a memory, Echos threw the darkness Of his head.
And as the pain will come back, He'll replace you with drugs instead.
The doctor visits broke me And the hospital stayed in my head, But they said sorry son there is no cure for a broken heart Or messed up head.
So he sits and he waits dreaming of Memories from a life he never had. He never had.
Well the shouting and the fighting Drew us far apart. But you will always be special, Like a sunrise for my heart.
Coz he wrote this on a bus, While he was dreaming of you. Coz all the flowers have died, But the memories still remain.
The petals turned to knives As they cut through his happiness
And destroyed his self-esteem, Leaving scars where he went.
So he sits and he waits dreaming of Memories from a life he never had. He never had.
Well now he sits in a puddle Of whiskey, tears, and drinks To forget the one he loved The one that he loved.
He spends his time, Writing love songs for no one else to hear, But these words will dig deep and then disappear. Oh, disappear.
This is actually a song myself and a friend worked on together and is live on sound cloud if you are interested in checking it out? https://soundcloud.com/user-460437822/memories-from-a-life-he-never-had
