Memories

Yeah, I'm just...
I'm just saying what you want from me
I already told you how things are in this life, you know what I mean
You know I like a few things, I wanna be different things
I just... I just can't...

Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh
Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh

Right, now this can never work, we knew this when we started
And now we dig our graves, shouts out to the departed
I didn't keep my guard up, you landed body shots
Tempted me with the apple bottom, that body hot
It took me out my zone, like you was hitting threes
Kicked me off my throne, kingdom falling down on me
No way to surrender, nowhere that I could run
Now all that's left are ruins, all the damage that's been done
You had that gypsy soul, I was that rambling man
I needed full control, you needed passion and
A way to leave, an exit from the maze
That's why you said to me, as you turned and walked away
That I'm not what you need, I'm just what you want
To me you were that weed, I guess I was that blunt
Put us together and it's good while it lasts
But then it turns into vapors and all I see is ash

Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh
Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh

Yeah, destined for greatness, never gonna settle down
Pushing through this pavement, hold the fucking pedal down
Passing over angels, running with the devil now
On that spaceship boy, a whole other level now
You up on that bullshit, I don't want no part of that
Your girl's sent for my nuts, that's
Why her butt is getting autographed
She can kiss on all of that, especially if she swallow that
Night girls they call you up, bad girls they holler back
Yeah I know you follow that, Twitter page and all of that
Now she Chevy chasing Nathan right back to my Caddy shack
Girl is saying daddy's back, nowadays I hardly rap
They just pay me just to sing the hook to make a hotter track
Now where your daughter at, probably in the Cadillac
Sipping on vanilla vodka, smoking on a fatty sack
While she trying to lay me back, whispering in my ear
Don't forget about me when you visit next year

Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh
Take these memories, they're all that you can have
From a love that never lasts, never lasts, oh

Before I go, please understand
Gave what I could, could never be your man
I know you're mad as hell, heartbroken I can tell
But take this final kiss, it's our last farewell
And I'll be back around, if only to see your mind
So if you wanna spend just a little more time
You know where to find me
Take these memories
Take these memories
These memories
Take these memories
