Memories Make Good Company Lyrics
When the rooms are filled with shadows
And the ghosts of yesterday are all that remain
You're still there
Just waiting for a touch
A feeling of acceptance
Holding on for anything
Now why did it have to be this way
It's your biggest fear
Because who are the saved
Without the saviors
As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
Now it's become apparent
That you're not the person that you say
You should have been careful
What you wished for
Was this worth it?
As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
Now enter our beloved, Juliet
Forging our mistakes across the stage
We play it out
Even though we know the ending
We've been acting this scene out
Again and again
Til the lights have outshined
The star you used to be
As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
You call it love
We call it a lie
We're both right this time
And the ghosts of yesterday are all that remain
You're still there
Just waiting for a touch
A feeling of acceptance
Holding on for anything
Now why did it have to be this way
It's your biggest fear
Because who are the saved
Without the saviors
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
That you're not the person that you say
You should have been careful
What you wished for
Was this worth it?
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
Forging our mistakes across the stage
We play it out
Even though we know the ending
We've been acting this scene out
Again and again
Til the lights have outshined
The star you used to be
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had
We call it a lie
We're both right this time

this song is seriously great. i love these lyrics
This song is by far my favorite.
It sounds like he's seeing this girl, who had so much potential in life, and giving it all away for a love that she is desperately searching for. She's never really had love, so she prays every night for it because she wants love the most. But it's changing her from being such a happy person to a depressed girl.
That's just my insight on it but I love this song.
My favorite as well. I think it is about this person who has never experienced love before because they couldn't trust anyone in life. They want to be loved so much. Such a beautiful song. It makes me cry.
