Old Memories (Originals) Lyrics

by Alicia Keys

Old memories, they don′t go away
They show up before you leave
And disappear when you wish they'd stay
No heart is immune (no), no secret is kept (yeah)
Yeah, they only get stronger with age
Old memories, they don′t go away

Old love songs (yeah), they don't ever end (that's right)
Just when you think that you′ve moved on (c′mon)
They remind you, you ain't over it (uh-uh)
Sneak in the dark, creep in your bed (yeah)
Playing over the loss in your head
Old love songs, they don′t ever end (uh-huh)

It's a problem, I′m telling ya
Makes you temperamental (that's right)
It takes all of the best of ya
You ain′t gon' never let go (nah)

Old photographs never fade away (uh-uh)
They're just frozen there in time
Locked in pretty picture frames (next day)
Bridges we burn (yeah), the once happiness (yeah)
It′s a black and white that you can′t change
Old photographs never fade away (yeah, uh-uh)

It's a problem I′m telling ya
Makes you temperamental (yeah)
It takes all of the best of ya (let's go)
You ain′t gon' never let go (uh)

Look at me, lost in yesterday (I see you)
Thought that I was over you (today)
But you haunt me in every way
My heart is with you (yeah), the secret is out (yeah)
And it only gets stronger with age
Old memories (uh-huh) of you and me
They don′t go away
