You taught me how to love you now you expect me to forget you After all the promises we made So I tell my heart it's over this hurt can't last forever Just until the heartaches fad away. You got a slow burning memory Maybe I'll get over you in time Slow burning memory Keeps on burning a hole in my mind. The day you said goodbye I began to realize It would take a while for my broken heart to mend I had hoped you were dealing with the same heartaches I'm feeling Maybe our love was just dying to live. You got a slow burning memory Maybe I'll get over you in time Slow burning memory Keeps on burning a hole in my mind. You got a slow burning memory Keeps on burning a hole in my mind
