You′re gone now, for good, and it looks like
I could stop crying, but I cry just the same
When a heart breaks, how long does it take till
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 till 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 till the pain
Stops, I can make it when only the memory remains
I could live with a memory, but how long will it be till the
Tears stop and the pain stops and only the memory remains?
Only the memory
Only the memory remains
