My memory keeps creeping
Into me, I can’t stop thinking
About what I’ve loved and lost
But what’s the highest cost I’ve got to pay
To confess what I can say and I got to let it out
In this lighthouse
This lighthouse, this lighthouse
This lighthouse
I don’t got much of a life
I sleep alone every night, damn
This racing mind, I’m working out
My body, keep pushing to write
Good songs about what I’ve known
In this life, I see memories
Come and go like my friends that had a kid
And married, Did they laugh with me
Or was it at me cause I keep searching
For a purpose, whos with me, hope many
Ain’t against me and everyone survives
In my memories, ohhh
My memories, ohhh
It’s all in my memories, ohhh
My memories, ohhh
Patterns form, it’s hard to change a
Lonely man who loves the ladies
With cold hands, warm heart and
I need to be showered with love
I’ve left some high and dry and I’ve encountered
Long distance, and when the distance is unbearable
Or it didn’t work out, I’ll admit sometimes I was astray, see I’ve flirted and doubted
For my sanity because I know some bitches lied to me
With bad intentions, no one told me how they felt
And didn’t know how to handle me, I’ve apologized
On and on for my mistakes but you don’t accept
Your fault and I wish I could be someone different
From what was diagnosed, misunderstood for life
Because maybe everyone would like me
And they would stop and stare then
What a wonderful world it would be
But all I have for now is my
Memory, ohhh
My memory
My memory, ohh
My memory
Mom and Dad want me to live my life
But what’s my life without a purpose
If my mind was chasing all day every day
What’s the meaning for me?
Why am I living?
What’s the meaning for me?
Why am I living?
What’s the meaning for me?
Why am I living?
