Lyrics for Memories Fade

There's only need, I love your need So much I'm losing me I cannot see the reason for the pain With hungry joy, I'll be your toy Just hoping you will play Without the hope, my body starts to fail Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger Ohh ho I cannot grow, I cannot move I cannot feel my age The vice like grip of tension holds me fast Engulfed by you, what can I do? When history's my cage Look forward to a future in the past Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger Woh woh The more I talk, the more I say The less you seem to hear I'm speechless in a most peculiar way Your mind is weak, your need is great And nothing is too dear For you to use to take the pain away Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade Now don't pretend, you can justify the end Memories fade but the scars still linger Woh woh, still linger Still linger, woh
