These memories that tumble from my fingertips like feathers in the wind
will someday reunite together to make this heart unbreakable

I still remember that one day so far away
when you told me you loved me, the tenderness of your eyes
I thought that moment would never fade
accented by the silence of words not spoken
My heart was pounding with feelings of happiness
because nothing before like this had I felt in my life

But with all memories that you treasure so much
they fall apart before you, a distant pleasure forgotten

I take these hands and rewrite what I remember the most
The people who make the biggest impact can never fade away
The happiness you pursue with all of your might and soul
will someday be achieved when you reach your inner self
Never forget the moments of your life

That dream I had now feels like nothing but a simple illusion
You forget what you see, forget what you know
wrapped up in the surroundings of what's taking place now
Sometimes you wish to take it all back, remember what's lost
I wish I could revisit the things I had already experienced
and silence the pain echoing down deep inside my heart

The greatest thing to give you joy
can be the greatest thing to give you pain

I take these hands and rewrite what I remember most
The people who make the biggest impact can never fade away
The happiness you pursue with all of your might and soul
will someday be achieved when you reach your inner self
Never forget the moments of your life

Somedays this pain becomes too much
but I have to fight through even the darkest of nights
The light that I look forward to
is waiting for me to follow and grasp it

Continuing to stumble upon the beaten path in front of me
brings me to nowhere but where I started at
If I am to overcome this love that destroys me from the inside
I have to be willing to turn and start a new way
This loss will only serve to make me stronger, right?
After all, you are not completely gone from my life

I take these hands and rewrite what I remember most
The people who make the biggest impact can never fade away
The happiness you pursue with all of your might and soul
will someday be achieved when you reach your inner self
Never forget the moments of your life

I will still be here waiting for you
because I'll never forget you

Explanation of Song Title

Life MEMO is an interesting title I chose. Why? It's very simple. One, I already have a deviation entitled "Memories" so I can not choose that as the title. However, everyone knows what memos are, of course: reminders of important things, such as birthdays or things to get done. Well, if regular memos are for those things, what are life memos? Memos about your life, about the people you care about and love. They are MEMOS of what you hold precious. Hence, Life MEMO.


Reason for Song

The 5-line chorus is explaining how as we both move through life, these memories I have will fade as new ones are made and that I will have to struggle to keep them the way they are, to try to remember exactly as they happened. The last line of the chorus is a no-brainer and needs no explanation.

The second 6-line stanza reiterates on the first 6-line stanza and what it means. Sometimes you need to remember what you had in order to help lessen the pain still inside your heart, even when you think you are over the loss.

The greatest thing to give you joy
can be the greatest thing to give you pain


I'm sure this has been said before by someone much wiser than me with a larger vocabulary, but I believe this to be true. Love is such a great joy, you feel higher than the clouds but if you lose someone you love, or are rejected or lose a boyfriend, that love becomes like thorns and you feel nothing but pain.

The light is essentially the new day, a new dawn, a reason to keep living when it feels like I should roll over and die instead of battling the pain inside of myself.

The last 6-line stanza doesn't need an explanation. It explains itself. I have to stop chasing after him and give him up. Only then will I be able to heal my wound and yet, still be his friend.

The last two lines are deeply personal. They need no explanation.
