I'll Take The Memories

There's a van out in the drive

It's time to divide everything up

We've taken down the bed

Where so many nights we made love

We've gone through everything

And given back the rings we once cherished

You can take the things you want

And leave the things you don't, but as for me

I'll take the memories

You can have the rest

I know we've had some bad times

But our good times were the best

There's so many keepsakes

After all that we've been through

But I'll take the memories

If I can't have you

I don't know just what I'll do

I've been so used to loving you

For such a long time

And even though I've tried

There's no way that I get you off my mind

So while we're packing up our lives

And saying our goodbyes

I wanna tell you

You can take the things you want

And leave the things you don't, as for me

I'll take the memories

You can have the rest

I know we've had some bad times

But our good times were the best

There's so many keepsakes

After all that we've been through

But I'll take the memories

If I can't have you
