You′re gone now for good and it looks like I could
Stop crying, but I cried just the same
When a heart breaks, how long does it take
'Til the pain stops and only the memory remains?
It′s been a long time and you'd think that by this time
My tears would have drowned all the pain
I could live with a memory, oh but how long will it be?
'Til the pain stops and only the memory remains
The fire that we started burns on, though we′ve parted
And I′m tortured by the heat of the flame
But if I'm strong enough to take it, ′til the pain stops I can make it
When only the memory remains
I could live with a memory, but how long will it be
'Til the tears stop and the pain stops and only the memory remains?
Only the memory, only the memory remains
