Only Just a Memory
Uncharted Shores Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ll be there for you, when you start to build a wall
And know that you’re there
I just hope you’ll think of me
That day we had I thought I never have
I remember that day With that smile you had
Now I remember how it was to dream
That you were the one for me
It was so real to me

I’ll be there for you,
When you start to build a wall
And I’ll know that you’re there
I just hope, you’ll think of me
As time went on, you walked away from me

I couldn’t help but think, That I wasn’t good enough
As I sit here, I sit here all alone
This place I knew grew cold, It’s not what it used to be
I’ll be there for you, When you’re finished with the wall
And I promise you this, I’ll never fall

I’ll be there for you,
When you leave me behind the wall
And I know that you’re gone, I just hope you’ll think of me
I’ll be there for you, When you leave me behind the wall




And I know that you’re gone
I just hope, You’ll think of me
