(Why Am I) Chained to a Memory - The Everly Brothers

Why am I chained to a memory

Why does the thought of you still torture me

When will I find someone to set me free

So I won’t be

Chained to a memory

Why am I chained to the hurt I knew

Each day you thought of something cruel to do

Where in this world can I escape from you

So I won’t be

Chained to a memory

Your letters threw them in the fire

Your picture out the window

All that I could find that reminded me of you

I threw them, threw them all away

But I get up every the morning and I’m pacing the floor

Like I’m expecting you to walk through the door

I keep forgetting I won’t see you anymore

Guess I’m doomed to be

Chained to a memory

Just a memory
