Tears for Fears - Memories Fade Lyrics

Artist: Tears for Fears

Album: The Hurting

  • Songwriters: Roland Orzabal

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
