as your memory fades

you are disappearing

from my heart and mind

I tried to lose you long ago

but it took a little time

I never fit into

the plans you had made

I see you going

as your memory fades

I no longer picture you

in my imagination

all the time I was someone

of your own creation

I never thought I'd be the one

who would be betrayed

it doesn't matter now

as your memory fades

          my mind's completely silent

          when I think about you now

          I'd remember the good times

          but I don't know how

some mornings I wake up

I hear the alarm clock's call

I start my day and

I don't think of you at all

I'm smarter and I'm stronger

no longer afraid

of being alone 

as your memory fades

you're growing fainter

as your memory fades
