For Memories You'll Never Have

for memories you'll never have

here's to you

for the life you'll never lead

pour another round

now close up inside

careful not to let anyone in

for the life we'll never share

here's to you

as the sun revolves around you

do you recognize your beauty

do you know that all their eyes adore you

so perfect in your innocence

do you recognize your beauty

this beauty of the memories you'll never have

for emotions I could never expect you to express

and for the person who you think I am

let's bury all that

let's put up a wall of barbed wire

in between our human sides

so between the two of us

no one ever has to see our minefields

our desolate playgrounds

who's sand is truly the ash of our adolescence

for the life we'll never share

here's to you
