Why am I chained to a memory
Why does the thought of you still torture me
When will I find someone to set me free
So I won’t be
Chained to a memory
Why am I chained to the hurt I knew
Each day you thought of something cruel to do
Where in this world can I escape from you
So I won’t be
Chained to a memory
Your letters threw them in the fire
Your picture out the window
All that I could find that reminded me of you
I threw them, threw them all away
But I get up every morning and I’m pacing the floor
Like I’m expecting you to walk through the door
I keep forgetting I won’t see you anymore
Guess I’m doomed to be
Chained to a memory
Just a memory
