Core Memory Corrupt

In just a glimmer it was there again and I recognized

The one I knew a million years ago, the one I idolized

I had forgotten, I had quite ignored just how it felt

Ah, but time is passing slowly

And you never change your mind

It made me look again at all of this, it lit the dark

A little fragment of a memory, just a little spark

Sometimes that's all it takes to make it all feel real again

Ah, but time is passing slowly

And you never change your mind

Less than expected, just some respect and attention

Less than expected, please no more condescension

Less than expected, just for someone to take notice

Less than expected, just want to see your smile

The pathways never taken

Options you dismissed

So confused and shaken

The choices that led to this

Oh, but the memories remain close

Oh, and the feeling never goes

There is a sparkle and there is a gleam behind the veil

There is a knowledge and a memory that's not for sale

I sometimes wonder and I sometimes dream but I never ever act

Ah, but time is passing slowly

And you never change your mind

I wonder what happened to you (Yeah)

Never forgotten, you don't remember me do you?

Never forgotten, my memory stays forever

Never forgotten, just thought I saw that smile
