Memory
Arden Cho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is clicking but I'm stagnant in the place you left me
I can barely see the face that I fell in love with it's a memory
Day or two a month a year it's all the same
You've been gone and all you left is pain
You took everything and left me with a broken home
Walked away without a single tear your hearts so cold
I hate that I still think about the way you made me feel
It's a memory

It's easy to say that I hate you
It's harder to say that I miss you
If only I make this change
It's easier said than done

You stole my laughter you killed my happy
Gave you my heart and all you left me were lies
You make me cry to many times to forget
You're not a memory you're just a regret

I was captured by your words and now I only wish that
I had walked the other way when you said hello miss
‘Cause you cant erase the story that already been unraveled
It's a memory just a memory

It's easy to say that I hate you
It's harder to say that I miss you
If only I make this change
It's easier said than done

You stole my laughter you killed my happy
Gave you my heart and all you left me were lies
You make me cry to many times to forget
You're not a memory you're just a regret

Watch me erase you delete you
Don't ever let me see you again
You don't deserve me so know that
You're nothing but just my biggest mistake

You stole my laughter you killed my happy
Gave you my heart and all you left me were lies
You make me cry to many times to forget
You're not a memory you're just a regret

You stole my laughter you killed my happy
Gave you my heart and all you left me were lies
You make me cry to many times to forget
You're not a memory you're just a regret




You're not a memory you're just a regret
You're not a memory you're just a regret

Overall Meaning

Arden Cho's "Memory" is a song that beautifully depicts the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a failed relationship. The lyrics talk about how time continues to pass by, but the singer feels stuck in the same place where her lover left her. She reminisces about the love that they once had, but it's all just a memory now. The emptiness and the pain that he left behind is all that remains. The singer has tried to forget about him, but his memories still haunt her. She wishes she never met him and that she had walked away when he approached her. The singer further expresses her anger towards her lover, who took everything, broke her home and left her with nothing but pain.


The chorus is a beautiful contrast of emotions - on one hand, the singer hates her ex-lover for what he did to her, but on the other hand, she also admits that she misses him. She acknowledges that moving on from him is easier said than done. The last verse is a declaration of the singer's determination to erase him from her life, to never see him again, and to recognize him as her biggest mistake.
