Foster The People - Memories Lyrics

Memories Song Lyrics
Memories by Foster The People Hold on, babe
Hold on, baby
Wherever you are
This one's for you

Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
(tell me why)

Growing up with you by my side
I thought that life would be so easy, yeah
Now that you're gone
And my heart stands all alone
I have realized what it is that I'm missing
'Cos it'll not come back

Memories of you and me (memories) and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
(I cry, I cry)
Come on baby
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
(tell me why)
Then why

Isn't gone
Or is it true that I'm just assuming
That our hearts will never beat as one
'Cos it's so hard for me to forget
All the plans and thoughts we said
I guess that's why it hurt me when you said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
You said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
I've tried, oh, I've cried
But goodbye

Memories of you and me (baby) and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
(I cry)
Memories of you and me (memories) and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
(why my love)

Oh, baby
Taj (spoken)
(memories we shared)
Hey,
It's me again (that special times we had)
You know, I'm not much of a talker
(and I was say goodbye)
But I just wanted to let you know
That I think about you every day
(memories we shared)
Deep in my heart I still believe
(that special times we had)
That there'll be a time
When we're together again
(and I was say goodbye)
I love you and I miss you
Tell me why it hurts
When we still love each other

Memories of you and me and
(goodbye my love)
If this way was meant to be
(goodbye my love)
I cry
(goodbye, goodbye)
Memories of you and me and
(goodbye my love)
If this way was meant to be
(goodbye sweet), sweet love

Memories of you and me and
(tell me why we must)
If this way was meant to be
(be this way)
I cry
Memories of you and me and
(tell me why we must)
If this way was meant to be
(be this way)
Then goodbye my love
