[Verse 1]
There's only need, I love your need
So much I'm losing me
I cannot see the reason for the pain
With hungry joy, I'll be your toy
Just hoping you will play
Without the hope my body starts to fail
[Chorus 1]
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye, my friend
Will I ever love again?
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Woah, woah
[Verse 2]
I cannot grow, I cannot move
I cannot feel my age
The vice-like grip of tension holds me fast
Engulfed by you, what can I do
When history's my cage?
Look forward to a future in the past
[Chorus 1]
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye, my friend
Will I ever love again?
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Woah, woah
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
The more I talk, the more I say
The less you seem to hear
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way
Your mind is weak, your need is great
And nothing is too dear
For you to use to take the pain away
[Chorus 2]
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?
Memories fade
When I die, pretend you can justify the end
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Woah, woah, still linger
Still linger, woah
Memories Fade was written by Roland Orzabal.
