A Memory Let Go

You can try so hard To not fall asleep Try so hard For a memory to keep But when that memory Wants to let go How would you take it? How would you know? If this memory is All that you own You can look at the number And pick up the phone That’s when you wake up And know it’s not real That when you lay down And start to feel When that memory Starts to give up When will you know? When enough is enough You can’t let it go Cause it’s too hard to bear How far would you go? If that then where? Cause I’m in that moment The memory let go The something we love The something we know Truly when something Feels sort of like this It is probably gone That’s what it is
