Your Memory's A Melody

 

I’m always keeping busy,
I’ve got ideas on my mind.
I try to squeeze in creativity,
Whist working eight ‘til five.
Home is full of stress,
As another headache grows.
But as I try to fall asleep
Your melody begins to flow.

I tell myself that I don’t miss you,
Don’t need you.
And I really, really don’t want to kiss you,
But I do.
I tell myself that I can’t feel you,
Don’t need you.
But I really, really can’t do without you,
It’s true.

And your melody flows.
And your memory glows.

I’ve been feeling down,
Hidden this for a while.
Tell everyone I’m fine,
Wear my biggest smile.
I try to help people,
And make them happy too.
No one sees that I’m hurting.
They haven’t a clue.

I tell myself that I don’t miss you,
Don’t need you.
And I really, really don’t want to kiss you,
But I do.
I tell myself that I can’t feel you,
Don’t need you.
But I really, really can’t do without you,
It’s true.

And your melody flows.
And your memory glows.

It’s something I can no longer ignore.
I can’t fight the feeling anymore.
I pick up the phone, but stall.
I hesitate to call.
I said I wouldn’t.
You told me I couldn’t.
So I won’t.

And your melody flows.
And your memory glows.
And that feeling grows.
My heart only knows.
And your melody flows.
And your memory glows.
