People say she's only in my head It's gonna take time but I'll forget They say I need to get on with my life But they don't realize Is when your dialing six numbers just to hang up the phone Driving cross town just to see if she's home Waking a friend in the dead of night just to hear 'em say it's gonna be alright When your finding things to do not to fall asleep 'Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams That's when she's More than a memory Took a match to everything she ever wrote Watched her words go up in smoke Tore all the pictures off the wall But that ain't helping me at all 'Cause when your talking out loud and nobody's there You look like hell and you just don't care Drinking more than you've ever drank Sinking down lower than you've ever sank When you find yourself falling down upon your knees Praying to God begging him please That's when she's More than a memory She's more She's more 'Cause when your dialing her number just to hang up the phone Driving cross town just to see if she's home Waking a friend in the dead of night just to hear 'em say it's gonna be alright When our finding things to do not to fall asleep 'Cause you know she'll be waiting in your dreams That's when she's More than a memory People say she's only in my head It's gonna take time but I'll forget
