Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone I won't want you

Burning mem'ries
(Teardrops fall while I am)
Burning mem'ries
Burning all those memories of you that I can't lose

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live on memories
Into the fire those dreams you've shattered
And when the smoke is gone then I'll be free

Burning mem'ries
(Teardrops fall while I am)
Burning all those memories of you that I can't lose
Oh, those burning mem'ries
(Teardrops fall while I am)
Burning mem'ries
(Teardrops fall while I am)
