This is a great song about being with someone and never really knowing them as they put up a front. On the exit you learn the truth which gives you closure except for the curiosity of how someone can actually do that to another person. No ethical standards? No moral compass? Anyhow.. great song.
Feels Like a Memory
Stone, iron and steel
These are the things I can touch
Things I can hold in my hands
But what you left with me
Is somewhere right in between
Fiction and fact
It feels like a memory to me
Even though it never happened
To me
I wake up again
The nightmare's always the same
You fading out like a picture
Then I get lost for a while
Confused by all of the facts
The fact you never were
In my life
It feels like a memory to me
Even though it never happened
It feels like a memory to me
But it never happened
I'm all tied up
But no rope holds me
'Cause I¹m all tied up in love
It feels like a memory to me
Even though it never happened
It feels like a memory to me
But it never
never
never happened
The stories
The pictures
Everything you left with me
The summers
The winters
The rest of my life...
It's amazing how some songs sum up things you feel better than your own words. I've written a number of personal poems in the past about my divorce, but they are too personal to post. I knew this song was out there on a hard to find album I had already been in search of. I have to give the nod to this tune as it explains in the best of terms what it felt like the day I learned who I was really with all those years.
This verse is what really drives home what was going through my head:
You fading out like a picture
Then I get lost for a while
Confused by all of the facts
The fact you never were
In my life
