afraid of memories

I'm afraid of memories
all they really mean to me
is you're not here anymore
the day we broke apart
you took with you my heart
and left me broken like before
I keep my eyes ahead
don't think 'bout what you said
try to pretend the future is all 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 that 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 yesterdays
makes no difference what I say
the past is better locked away
I do the same old stuff
drink till I've had enough
my mind's got nothing new to say
keep my eyes on the road
the highway's hot but my heart is cold
somewhere else is what I hope to find
somewhere I'll be free of you
and all the love inside me, too
I'll find a way to keep you off my mind

          I'm afraid of memories
          remembering you and me
          the way that 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
