MEMORY
Drew Fish Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see if going down
I won't pretend
There weren't rumors going 'round
It was flawed right from the start
Now it's falling all apart
I ain't giving up but I sure ain't giving in
I ain't trusting you after all of those lies
You broke my heart. You shattered my world
To think that I called you my girl
You left me standing there alone that day
I went out and drank just to cover the pain
Went by so fast, but my world stood still
Lies can hurt but a memory can kill
You came by my house
Crying at my door
I don't need your excuses
Can't do this anymore
What's done is done
I guess you weren't the one
It'll never be the same again
Why are you coming back around this time
I ain't trusting you after all of those lies
You broke my heart. You shattered my world
To think that I called you my girl
You left me standing there alone that day
I went out and drank just to cover the pain
Went by so fast, but my world stood still
Lies can hurt but a memory can kill
I never thought
That things would end this way
But after what you've done
I just can't let you stay
Why are you coming back around this time
I ain't trusting you after all of those lies
You broke my heart. You shattered my world
To think that I called you my girl
You left me standing there alone that day
I went out and drank just to cover the pain
Went by so fast, but my world stood still
Lies can hurt but a memory can kill
The Drew Fish Band's song Memory is a heartbreak track about a relationship that fell apart. The lyrics speak of a relationship that was flawed right from the start and rumors of it falling apart. The singer makes it clear that the breakup was not a surprise, but what really hurts is the lies that were told. The pain of the betrayal is so raw that the singer has resorted to drinking to cover the hurt. The chorus serves as a message to the ex-partner who comes back with excuses. The singer is not willing to trust them again after all the lies and heartbreak they caused. The song ends with the singer accepting that they cannot let the ex stay even though it was never how they thought it would end.
The song Memory was released in March of 2017 and is a part of the Drew Fish Band's album, "Lone Star State." The album which has thirteen tracks was recorded live in a Texas studio. The album peaked at number 47 on the US Country chart in 2017. Here are some interesting facts about the song:
