Lyrics

MORE THAN A MEMORY

I reach across the bed when the sun comes up
Expect to hold a hand when I get stuck
Waiting for the arm to pull me a little closer
Listening for the sound of your beating chest
Safely lean my head when I am stressed
Hoping for the voice to say things will be better
Like muscle memory

But you're not here for all these things
I'm left to deal with life
I'm holding on to things I miss
They say it just takes time

Breaking the habit to cook for two
Setting the table including you
Filling your glass to celebrate a good day
I look at where you're usually on the couch
That side is just a pillow, empty now
I sit on your side to watch our favorite shows
You're more than a memory
You're not here for all these things
I'm left to deal with life
I'm holding on to things I miss
They say it just takes time
Should I leave the house we shared
Cuz it brings you back so much
Time for someplace new to break away
You're more than a memory
More than a memory
