The way I laugh, my epitaph should read here lies a clown
'Cause I'm the life of every party since you've left me down
There's not one guy who hasn't tried to take your place with me
They can't see that I'm not free of your memory
'Cause it's standin' in the way of everything I try to do
Dear, I never think to keep me from forgetting you
Pullin' at my heart,caryin' it apart, never gonna let me be
How in the world do you kill a memory
Our photographs are torn in half to realize we're through
I burned your little notes of love, then your letters tied in blue
I watch the fire, the flames go higher but there in front of me
Surrounding ashes of our love stood your memory
It was standin' in the way of everything I try to do
Dear, I never think to keep me from forgetting you
Pullin' at my heart, caryin' it apart,never gonna let me be
How in the world do you kill a memory
Somebody tell me, how in the world do you kill a memory
