Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old memories
They don't go away
They show up before you leave
And disappear when you wish they'd stay
No heart is immune
No secret is kept
Yeah, they only get stronger with age
Old memories
They don't go away
[Verse 2]
Old love songs
They don't ever end
Just when you think that you've moved on
They remind you
You ain't over it
[PreChorus]
Sneak in the dark
Creep in your bed
Playing over the loss in your head
Old love songs
They don't ever end
[Chorus]
It's a problem
I'm telling ya
Makes you temperamental
It takes all of the best of ya
You ain't gon' never let go
[Verse 3]
Old photographs
Never fade away
They're just frozen there in time
Locked in pretty picture frames
[PreChorus]
Bridges we burn
The once happiness (Yeah)
It's a black and white that you can't change (Yeah)
Old photographs never fade away
[Chorus]
It's a problem
I'm telling ya
Makes you temperamental
It takes all of the best of ya
You ain't gone never let go
[Verse 4]
Look at me
Lost in yesterday
Thought that I was over you
But you haunt me in every way
[Outro]
My heart is with you
The secret is out (Yeah)
And it only gets stronger with age (Yeah)
Old memories
Of you and me
They don't go away
