I remember smiling and staring at your face
Like it would disappear if I blinked or looked away
Yeah

You kept saying it was cold, I was staring at your mouth
And the more I read about memory the less I pay it mind

But I cannot hold them in my mind
Yeah I know we had some real bad times
But I cannot hold them in my mind

In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
