Your Memory

You are young now but not forever
The life you lead becomes a memory
When you are looking back what will be coming back
How will it be?

When you are older and you can feel it
And you long for the parts that you have missed
Will your memories be your enemies?
How will it be? Tell me...tell me

Will you be troubled by the past?
Will you shut down when it comes back?
Will your memory be your enemy?
Make it go away, make it go away

And if anybody stops to ask
Will it embarrass you will it be like that?
Will your memory be your enemy?
Make it go away, make it go away

I could've this but I never that
I could've this but I never that
I could've that but I never this
I could've that but I never this
I could've this but I never tried
I could've that but I compromised
Ahhh

What about my love what about my friends
What about my travels where I allow my journeys to end
What about my heart what about my head
What about my fears and my disappointments?
Everybody

You are young now but not forever
It's your life
Will your memory be your enemy?
Ooh
