Memories-

I should have known all these
 Memories 
keep on coming back to me 
all the dreams of those Daydreams just... 
Memories
 Day Dreams of yesterday and today
 I loved the man who wore a hole, in my heart 
he meant it from the start
 he had planned to break it all apart
 I should have known you all these memories 
we keep coming back to me
 all the trouble that man calls to me
 he took away that quality of true love 
Oh was it love 
what it could have been should have
been ought to be
 I had stored away in my presence tense
 is a little body for so long was it him
Was it meant
 that I had wrong was it myself 
that I'm right that I kept
 holding on to these those unworthy memories 
I've got these unpleasantries stored in my...
 Memories
