Songwriter, Lyricist
My band consists of ME, Myself and I.
I am a non-performing songwriter/lyricist.
I collaborate with most anyone who is open to cowrite a melody to my lyrics.
Story behind the song
About a long term relationship that is over and the husband/boyfriend leaving and she is asking him to take the memories [like pictures] they have collected over the term of their relationship with him because she wants nothing to do with them anymore.
Lyrics
TAKE THESE MEMORIES
V1:
Well, I got waves from the ocean crashin' in my head
Cause I can't bear to hear the words that you just said
You're standing in the door with your bag and keys
Leaving me surrounded in our memories
Pre chorus
I can't pack up all these years they won't fit in a box
I can't store em' in the attic, I can't lock' em up
C.
So, take these memories
They're not as precious as they used to be
Pack em' in your bag; you can't leave them with me
Their heavy on my heart and I, I can't breathe
So take these memories
Just take em'... Take these memories please
V2
Here's a shoebox full of your ole' love letters
You signed them all "I'm yours forever"
Pictures of us laughin' on Sunset beach
We had the whole World at our feet
Pre chorus
These were moments we both treasured at the time
Now they're feeling more like burdens I don't recognize
C:
So, take these memories
They're not as precious as they used to be
Pack em' in your bag; you can't leave them with me
Their heavy on my heart and I, I can't breathe
So take these memories
Just take em'...Take these memories please
Bridge
You say all is fair in love and war
Well, I'm not asking you to stay...just take this one thing more
C.
Oh, take these memories
They're not as precious as they used to be
They were meant to last forever; you can't leave them with me
They're heavy on my heart and I, I can't breathe
So take these memories
Just take em'.....Take these memories
Come on take em'.....Take these memories please
