I spent the past three days working out this song.  It comes across as a love/break up type song I think but it's really about how I've been feeling since I lost my dog, Chokey, a few weeks ago.  All my friends know how tough it's been for me, and it's gotten so much better since the first few days, but every now and then I find myself lying in bed late at night crying because I want my puppy back.  These lyrics came to my mind during the most recent of those night.

Verse:
Memories fading in the wind
Like they were never even there at all
I remember a place like this
We didn't have a care at all

Prechorus:
I'm stronger some days
More than others
I break down, I recover
While I'm stuck in this rut
I remember

Chorus:
What it was like to hold you
What it was like to feel you
I don't want to lose sight of you
Even though you're gone

I still want to hold you
And say I love you
I just wanna be close to you
But now you're gone

You're a memory
You're a memory

Verse:
I'm tired of looking in the mirror
Red eyes staring back at me
These tears streaming down my face
Hurt as much as your memory

Prechorus:
Some days
More than others
I break down, I recover
Though I'm stuck in this rut
I could never forget

Chorus:
What it was like to hold you
What it was like to feel you
I don't want to lose sight of you
Even though you're gone

I still want to hold you
And say I love you
I just wanna be close to you
But now you're gone

You're a memory

Bridge:
Fading fading
Why do you keep fading away?
Breaking breaking
Why do I break down these days?
I'm missing, wishing
That you could come back to me
Can't I just wrap you in my arms one last time?

One last time

Chorus:
I just want to hold you
I just want to feel you
I don't want to lose sight of you
Even though you're gone

I still want to hold you
And say I love you
I just wanna be close to you
But now you're gone

You're a memory
My fondest memory
You're a memory
You're a memory
