Song: Memories by Maroon 5

Bens POV

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

Im sitting at the bar I dont know how to live anymore

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

I still remember her smile

The way her eyes lit up when she laughed

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

Now shes gone

And its all my fault

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

I took another shot and just like that everything came flowing back

There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain

When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same

Always tip the waiter at a restaurant, and how she would smile at the barista at Starbucks, how she would try to stay strong even through everything the world threw at her.

Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name

'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah

We talked on the phone every night no matter how late. We would talk about anything from work to the universe, it didnt matter cause it was her.

Everybody hurts sometimes

Everybody hurts someday, aye aye

I shouldnt have let her go. Its all my fault, if I had just stayed with her, if I was driving, maybe shed still be here.

But everything gon' be alright

Go and raise a glass and say, aye

Her eyes, her hair, her face, everything about her was perfect.

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

Why did I let her go alone. I should have gone with her. I messed up.

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

I love her. I was gonna marry her.

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

That time we left the apartment at 1 in the morning and went to get McDonalds just because we felt like it. We went home with our chicken nuggets and that was when I realized I love her.

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost

Now here I am. At the bar. Without her.

When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop

Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark

I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah

We sitting in the hospital, she was crying into my shoulder, we were waiting to see if her dad was ok. It broke me seeing her like that, I promised that night I would never let her cry like that ever again.

Everybody hurts sometimes

Everybody hurts someday, aye aye

Just last week we were laughing at her favourite restaurant, she git whipped cream on her nose from the milkshake they were sharing.

But everything gon' be alright

Go and raise a glass and say, aye

It should have been me. I should have been in that car. All she was doing was getting groceries. It my my turn to go. But she said she would.

Here's to the ones that we got (oh oh)

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

I let her go. I said she could take my turn. I said that I wish she would go to the store instead of me.

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through (no, no)

She was everything I ever wanted, everything I could ever ask for, everything I needed.

Toast to the ones here today (aye)

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

My Erica. My one true love. I would never see her again. Only in a casket.

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (aye)

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Goodbye love.
