Memory
Jackie Boyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Jackie Boyz:]
I wanted to call the other day,
To see if you're still might think of me,
Cause my life ain't been the same
Since we're on separate ways, yeah, yeah, yeah!
But still inside I need you,
Your life, your breath I breathe you,
Wish you were right here with me now!

Chorus:
So how do you know when it's time to let go?
And throw away everything what you we're fighting for.
How do you deal with a love that's so real
And give up on what was meant to be,
Not just another memory?
Just another just another memory!
Just another just another memory!

[Christina Milian:]
I'm hearing everything you say,
And every ... I feel the same way,
Your voice keeps on coming,
And if I could, I would bring back yesterday!
Cause still inside I need you,
You're like the air I breath you,

Wish you were right here with me now!

[Jackie Boyz &Christina Milian:]
Chorus:
So how do you know when it's time to let go?
And throw away everything what you we're fighting for.
How do you deal with a love that's so real
And give up on what was meant to be,
Not just another memory?
Just another just another memory!
Just another just another memory!

Come back to me!
Come back to me! (x4)

[Christina Milian:]
Chorus:
So how do you know when it's time to let go?
And throw away everything what you we're fighting for.
How do you deal with a love that's so real
And give up on what was meant to be,
Not just another memory?




Just another just another memory!
Just another just another memory!

The song "Memory" by Jackie Boyz featuring Christina Milian is a melancholic reflection on the aftermath of a breakup.

The opening vocals by Jackie Boyz set the tone of the song as he describes his yearning to call his ex to know if she still thinks of him. He admits that his life has not been the same since their separation but deep down the feelings persist. Milian's response to Jackie Boyz reveals that she still feels the same way and how she wishes she could bring back yesterday. The chorus of the song poses a rhetorical question about how one knows when it's time to let go and throw everything away, while also acknowledging that the love once shared was so real and not just a fleeting memory.

The repetition of the phrase "Just another memory" emphasizes the hurt and anguish of the singers, while also carrying a sense of hope that the relationship could be salvaged.

At its core, the song is a plea to mend what was broken, to maintain the connection, and to hold on to the memories of the love shared.
