We need peace
The time has come
We need this release
Before our time is done
Then a broken heart
Tears of hurt
There's no room for hope or a new start
Looking down to the dirt
The paperclips hold the memories together
The paperclips all bent and crushed
Holding them forever
Memories all hushed
One memory was about life and how it's so confusing
The same memory reminded me that I'm always losing
CHORUS
Today I got 12 memories for 3 pound
Today 12 memories I just found
You said that you were going to stay
Now I'm sinking in the quicksand
You lied to me and now I can't stand
I'm just wasting my time
You said that you loved me
But that was just a mime
Now I can see
Now I can see
But then there was hope
I was drowning and someone threw me a rope
It was burning a hole and I couldn't sleep
I've never loved anyone so deep
Say you're in love with me
I know I'll never get into your heart
When you think of love I'm not there to see
I'm not there to see
When I was walking down the hill
My thoughts and mind weren't still
Don't become a part of the past
Stay here with me and together we will last
CHORUS
Today I got 12 memories for 3 pound
Today 12 memories I just found
You said that you were going to stay
Now I'm sinking in the quicksand
You lied to me and now I can't stand
I'm just wasting my time
You said that you loved me
But that was just a mime
Now I can see
Now I can see
There was a hidden memory
One that got lost
A sad memory
A sad, sad memory
Now I wish I couldn't see
Now I wish I couldn't see
I found it, it was meant for me
