Chained to a Memory - Dusty Springfield

Why am I chained to a memory

Why does the thought of you still torture me?

When will I find someone to set me free

So I won’t be chained to a memory

Why am I chained to the hurt I knew?

Each day the thought of something so cruel to do

Where in this world will I escape from you

So I won’t be chained to a memory

Your letters, threw them on the fire

Your pictures, out the window

All I could find that reminded me of you

I threw them all away

I get up in the morning, I’m pacing the floor

Like I’m expecting you to walk in the door

I keep forgetting I won’t see you anymore

Guess I’m doomed to be chained to a memory
