This song is beautiful. Possibly my favorite of The Growlers. I think Nielsen realizes that although his past relationship went sour and that things are over with his past love, he still cannot help but quietly reminisce to himself about all of the nice memories he had with her, for example:
"Memories of making love stronger than drugs;
Memories of all the sweet things you said"
He realizes it is unhealthy to be "living in a memory" when he says "hell it ain't no good for me," but since he can no longer be mutually in love with her, he instead reluctantly choses to be "in love with a memory."
