Sweet Memory
The Belle Stars Lyrics

Just a memory, just a sweet, sweet memory
The singer is acknowledging that their relationship has ended and all that remains are sweet memories of the past

Is there a reason to ask one question?
The singer wonders if there is any point in trying to understand why their love has come to an end

Oh why, oh why you still love me
The singer questions why their partner still has feelings for them despite the end of their relationship

And is there a reason for my answer
The artist wonders if they have any explanation for why they love their partner, despite the need for freedom

That I love you to but I need to be free
The artist admits that they still have feelings for their partner, but need to be free to pursue other things in their life

Many times I tried, tried explaining
The singer has attempted to articulate their feelings and justify their decision to end the relationship numerous times

The way I feel, you know I've really tried
The singer has put forth effort in expressing their emotions, but still feels misunderstood

Just sit it up, up all night talking
The artist suggests that they have spent many sleepless nights discussing their relationship, but have not reached a resolution

Don't you think that the well has run dry
The artist questions if their communication has gone as far as it can go, and suggests that it is time to move on

A live together seemed too precious
The artist reflects on how special their life together was, but it is now a thing of the past

Something no-one else could be part of
The singer acknowledges that their relationship was unique and no one will understand the depth of their connection

And a live apart was just confusion
The artist recognizes that living apart only led to misunderstandings and negative emotions

Filled with jealousy and hate instead of love
Living apart led to unhealthy emotions like jealousy and hate, rather than the love they once shared

The world seems full, full of lonely people
The singer observes that there are many people in the world who feel alone and disconnected, despite the fact that love exists

??? Love and meaning???, without ever saying goodbye
The singer seems to be asking a rhetorical question about whether or not it's possible to have a meaningful and loving connection with someone without ever formally ending the relationship

And then it's me who has to be so careful
The artist takes responsibility for the fact that they need to be more mindful about how they handle their emotions

Let it die, let it die and let me cry
The artist is ready to let the relationship end and needs time to grieve

It's killing me
The singer is in pain and struggling to navigate the end of their relationship

My??? fig??? is still, still keeps haunting me
The singer can't stop thinking about their former partner and the memories they shared

I know it's saver to let our love die
The artist acknowledges that it is safer and healthier to let go of their love and move forward with their life

It's with a smile, sweet of your memory
Despite the pain of the breakup, the sweet memories of their former love still make the artist smile
