More Than a Memory Lyrics
I’ve become tired of wasting my time
Thinking about choices that I’ve made
Cus I can’t move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now
Is change the way that I use to be
Cus now it seems crystal clear to me
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
It wasn’t fair for me just to go
And act like I know what you’d been through
Cus I wasn’t there and I’ll never know
I couldn’t see from your point of view
But I’m doing all I can
For you see that I understand
That I understand
You’re so much more than a memory
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
So don’t close the door
On what still can be
Cus you’re so much more than a memory
Please don’t go
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know that I was wrong
I was wrong
You’re so much more than a memory
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
So don’t close the door
On what still can be
Cus you’re so much more than a memory
Please don’t go
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know I was wrong
Please don’t go
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know I was wrong
I was wrong
Thinking about choices that I’ve made
Cus I can’t move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now
Is change the way that I use to be
Cus now it seems crystal clear to me
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
And act like I know what you’d been through
Cus I wasn’t there and I’ll never know
I couldn’t see from your point of view
But I’m doing all I can
For you see that I understand
That I understand
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
So don’t close the door
On what still can be
Cus you’re so much more than a memory
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know that I was wrong
I was wrong
Yes, you’re so much more than a memory
So don’t close the door
On what still can be
Cus you’re so much more than a memory
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know I was wrong
Please don’t go
Cus I finally know
That the past is gone
And I know I was wrong
I was wrong

Awesome. Simply beautiful.
Another beautiful song. It's seven minutes but hey it's worth it.
to me it's pretty straight forward. he left his girl ("It wasn’t fair for me just to go") and just tried to let her go. so now he has realized that he just really screwed up ("And I know I was wrong, I was wrong") and that he really does need her...more than he thought ("cuz you're so much more than a memory").
nevermind, on second thought, that's not what its about. it has nothing to do with him breaking up with her.
i think he did something bad and now she's mad at him and he's begging her not to go ("please don't go") because she really does mean a lot to him ("cuz you're so much more than a memory"). so this song is his plea that she would just stay.
but i agree w/ RuinedFireCracker and Purple Redness. this song is really beautiful and worth every second. -luke
this song couldnt have come out at a better time it is perfect to my situation funkeywoookey ... i think your right on with both of your interpretations ... i think he broke up with her/left her and has realized that he needs her but also that when they were to gether that he screwed up a lot and now that he wants her back she no longer wants him... the reason that im saying that this song couldnt have come out at a better time is i ended my 3 year relationship back in jan and walked away from her ... and in the past 6 months i came to terms that the last year we were together i did some pretty mean things ... but i want her back more than anything and i dont want her to just be a memory to me but she is saying no and unwilling to give it a chance and i am begging her to give it one more chance(dont close that door)
BEAUTIFUL. who is this hoe?
This song is the best 7 minute song ever written!! I love it!
He dumped a girl, then realizes how lonely he is without her. He wants her back, and doesn't want her to look at the past and he hopes she accepts her, despite dumping her... Sad song and very beautiful. Rock on, Hoobastank.
or if you think about it.. it could be the other way.. like i know the it's male vocals.. but maybe it's from the girls point of veiw after she cheated on him and broke up with him due to the fact she hurt him..
It wasn’t fair for me just to go And act like I know what you’d been through Cus I wasn’t there and I’ll never know I couldn’t see from your point of view But I’m doing all I can For you see that I understand That I understand
from that you could take it as the break up and her slowly seeing that the guy still loved her and she knew she loves him but felt she has broken his heart even though the thing that hurt him most was losing her?
songs are took in different per person XD
My daughter died last year and this was her favorite song for me to sing to her! I used to sing it to her over and over again. All 7 minutes of it. It was worth every minute to spend with her! I don't regret a single minute of it. And to me, she is More Than A Memory!
