When I met you I was just a kid,
Hadn't built up my defenses,
So I gave my heart completely,
Vaseline over the lenses,
Memories don't go away,
I remember every day.

I never ever stop wondering,
Wondering if you still think of us,
I don't need a photograph,
'Cause you've never left my mind,
No, you've never left my mind.

I remember feeling like a ship,
Whose captain was too drunk to stear,
And you watched as I was sinking,
Waving sadly from the pier.

It's such a burden to carry 'round,
The vestiges of dead dreams,
And I don't want to make a wake out of my life,
I just had to let you go.
