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.
