Lyrics
What would your memories do
If they didn’t have my mind to run through
If they didn’t have my heart to break into
What would your memories do
Wonder what would happen
If one morning your memories woke up to find mine gone
Would they go as crazy without me, as I have without you
Would they last as long
If someday they found the door to my mind
Had been locked from inside by my heart
What would they do if they couldn’t use you any longer to tear me apart
What would your memories do
If they didn’t have my mind to run through
If they didn’t have my heart to break into
What would your memories do
Tell me what would your memories do.
