The air flies from your mouth as you blow a kiss and I
I can't help but laugh.
You lighten up my world, you make things shine.
And I just want the time to stop for a moment
so I can stay with you and be fine.

I found life somewhere deep inside your eyes
that day and it won't be long until those eyes close.
I know that's how it goes, this was a temporary home
for you to stay until you found someone for you.

These memories will stay with me.
They'll stay.

Photos of you on the wall I barely recognize at all.
I see the change.
The world's not perfect but still it's worth it and
I refuse to make you chose the same.

Chorus

And there you go, packing up your bags.
I'll hold back my tears and pretend I'm happy.
And there she'll be, the woman of your dreams.
I'll look back, remembering when that was me.

Can you just make a promise to me?
Remember me once you leave.
And these memories will stay with me.
These memories will stay with me.
