afraid of memories (rewrite 1)

I'm afraid of memories
all they really mean to me
is you're not here anymore
the day we broke apart
you took my foolish heart
and left me empty like before
I keep my eyes ahead
don't think 'bout what you said
try to pretend the future's mine
but no matter what I do
I'm still in love with you
and always will be for all time

          I'm afraid of memories
          remembering you and me
          the way we used to be
          once upon a time
          I'm afraid of memories
          the yesterdays inside of me
          the way our lives would be
          if you were mine

I'm afraid of days gone past
good times that never last
yesterday is better locked away
I don't know what I'll do
or if I'll get over you
I'm too busy just getting through today

          I'm afraid of memories
          remembering you and me
          the way we used to be
          once upon a time
          I'm afraid of memories
          the yesterdays inside of me
          the way our lives would be
           if you were mine
