Mark Erelli - I Always Return lyrics

(Mark Erelli) It's no secret, no mystery How you once loved me so Now you're part of my history That was a long time ago You'd think I'd have learned But it's hopeless you see I always return to your memory You leaned on my shoulder You whispered my name Now the fire only smolders Only ashes remain But I still feel it burn I can still feel the heat I always return to your memory I just can't explain How the sound of you name Rings in my ears all the time And try as I may to run farther away The closer you follow behind I wish I'd never met you But I dream of you still Though I pray I'll forget you I don't believe I ever will You're the page I can't turn But I can't bear to read I always return to your memory Guess I'll always return
