[Intro]
Ooh-hoo

[Verse 1]
I remember when we were in love, I remember how it used to feel
I remember when we were happy, was it a lie or was that real? Oh, na-na
Feels like we're going through changes, oh, we can't control the strain, woah
But we can't feel any pity or pain for the way in which we changed

[Chorus]
Said I can't help but remember the time
When I first took your hands in mine
Oh, we were in lovе that day, we were in lovе that day
The memory I wanna stay, yeah
The memory I wanna stay, oh

[Verse 2]
Did I take too much time to notice the way in which we drifted apart? Oh, baby
So I guess we gotta find our own way like strangers in a broken heart
But is there any rhyme or reason in trying to fight the change?
In our hearts, I know where we wanna be, I know we can take the strain, oh

[Chorus]
But I can't help but remember the time
When I first took your hands in mine
Oh, we were in love that day, we were in love that day
The memory I wanna stay, yeah
The memory I wanna stay, oh baby
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah-yeah

[Bridge]
'Cause I don't think we'll make it through, oh
'Cause I know that this stuff is true, yeah-yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't help but remember the time
When I first took your hands in mine
Oh, we were in love that day, we were in love that day
The memory I wanna stay
The memory I wanna stay

[Outro]
The memory I wanna stay, yeah
The memory I wanna stay, hey-yeah
