More Than a Memory

People say she's only in my head

It's gonna take time but I'll forget

They say I need to get on with my life

But they don't realize

'Cause when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone

Driving cross town just to see if she's home

Waking a friend in the dead of the night

Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright

When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep

'Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams

That's when she's more than a memory

Took a match to everything she ever wrote

Watched her words go up in smoke

Tore all her pictures off the wall

That ain't helping me at all

'Cause when you're talking out loud but nobody's there

You look like hell and you just don't care

Drinking more than you ever drank

Sinking down lower than you ever sank

When you find yourself falling down upon your knees

Praying to God, begging Him please

That's when she's more than a memory

She's more, she's more

'Cause when you're dialing her number just to hang up the phone

Driving cross town just to see if she's home

Waking a friend in the dead of the night

Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright

When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep

'Cause you know she's waiting in your dreams

That's when she's more than a memory

People say she's only in my head

It's gonna take time but I'll forget
