Memory (feat. Brian Newman)

I don't want to be the photograph you hold so tightly in your hands When you remember good times you enjoyed back when you were a younger man The photograph that takes you back in time The one that makes you wish you still were mine I don't want to be the sweater I left somewhere lying at your place The perfume still reminds you of the smile I used to wear across my face The sweater that you hold, you won't let it go But if you hold on to it, she will know I don't want to be the music you forget to play I don't want to be the words you never get to say Baby please, don't make me A memory I don't want to be the silver lining you see on your wedding day And when you're making love, you close your eyes and hope the color fades away The silver that you see when you look in her eyes You chose what was safe and what was wise I don't want to be the record you play when you're drunk and all alone The one you only play when your wife and your children aren't at home The one that makes you wish you could do it all again The melancholy melody your friend I don't want to be the music you forget to play I don't want to be the words you never get to say Baby please, don't make me A memory
