Why did it have to be this way?
Please tell me why it has to be this way

These memories of you
Can't seem to go away
My love for you is done
But the feelings seem to stay, yeah

Every night, I needed you to be there
But you hurt me
I just can't take the pain
Of these memories of you

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

When it was only you and I
We never had misunderstandings
'Til your friends came around
I always felt like they came first in your life

But now I realize that this can't go on
Even though I'll feel the pain
I can't let you go (let you go)

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

I always thought that you and I
Were meant to be (were meant to be)
But now I guess that I was wrong
And I must deal with the pain

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day of my life
I can't accept your lies
You broke my heart

Please take these memories away
I think of you each night and day
Of my life, yeah
