The memories know best

My heart beats faster, never slowing
and all the time the pain is growing,
I start to know you, start to trust,
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

I take your hand, you lead the way,
I thought you'd leave but still you stay,
I know that you're not like the rest
but still the memories think they know best.

They will not let me give my heart,
In case, again, it tears apart,
For if I give you heart and soul,
You'd have the power and be in control.

I wish that it was not this way,
I wish that you were here to stay
but I will never be all yours,
My heart will stay behind closed doors.
