Can Not Forget You

I trace the shadows of this small town street
Still haunted by the rhythm of your heartbeat
Every time I close my eyes, I fall anew
I swear to you, I can not forget you
The whiskey in my glass is burning low
The radio is playing something slow
You left a trace of perfume on my coat
And caught every word resting in my throat
The highway sings a lonely lullaby
But I am still lost inside your hazel eyes
The tension rising like a summer tide
With nowhere left for all this heat to hide
'Cause you're the memory I want to keep
The only dream that haunts me when I sleep
I breathe you in, and there is nothing I can do
No matter where I go, I can not forget you
I can not forget you
Yeah, you are my absolute truth
I drive past places where we used to park
And feel your fingers pulling through the dark
The way you used to lean across the seat
And make a perfect fire in the cold night heat
The highway sings a lonely lullaby
But I am still lost inside your hazel eyes
The tension rising like a summer tide
With nowhere left for all this heat to hide
'Cause you're the memory I want to keep
The only dream that haunts me when I sleep
I breathe you in, and there is nothing I can do
No matter where I go, I can not forget you
I can not forget you
Yeah, you are my absolute truth
I can not forget you, a solitary spark
You left a steady rhythm beating in the dark
The ashes of the fire still burning in the rain
And Sayed will never be the same again
This love is like a fever, a beautiful mistake
A silent midnight promise that I could not break
You know I have tried to walk away
But I am always walking right back to you
'Cause you're the memory I want to keep
The only dream that haunts me when I sleep
I breathe you in, and there is nothing I can do
No matter where I go, I can not forget you
