They took the perfect picture Now the glass is shattered on the floor He swore he wouldn’t miss her But cried a tear when she walked out the door
They tried, but couldn’t get it right His lies kept her up all night And now it’s over And there was nothing left to say
So take these memories And say you won’t forget me Someday you’ll wake up all alone and I’ll be gone The TV’s on, but no one’s home These memories I’ll hold on if you let me Are all I have to get me through the cold And now I’m gone and winter’s here to stay
He set a good example First class, a future football star But he took a different angle Now he’s broke and living in his car
He tried, but couldn’t get it right She cried when he stayed out all night And now it’s over ‘Cause there was nothing left to say
So take these memories And say you won’t forget me Someday you’ll wake up all alone and I’ll be gone The TV’s on, but no one’s home These memories I’ll hold on if you let me Are all I have to get me through the cold And now I’m gone and winter’s here to stay
Now take your stupid poems and your sorry notes ‘Cause I don’t care for heartbreak songs I don’t care at all so don’t call no more I haven’t felt the rain in oh so long In oh so long
So take these memories And say you won’t forget me Someday you’ll wake up all alone and I’ll be gone The TV’s on, but no one’s home These memories I’ll hold on if you let me Are all I have to get me through the cold And now I’m gone and winter’s here to stay
