Closing This Memory Down

Lee Ann Womack

The phone rang... I said, "Hello."
He said, "Can we talk baby?"
And I said, "Darlin' I’m closed for the night."
And he said, "Well, I saw a light."
Yeah, but there's nobody home
I think you're lookin' for someone or something
That's either missin' or gone

And I think it's time I hung a sign in the window
'Cause I'm tired, I'm so tired of my heart goin' broke
I'm goin' out of business
There's no need for you to come around
'Cause I'm closin' this memory down
I'm closin' this memory down

And then there was silence
You know...like there always is
When one doesn't understand
The other has nothin' left to give tonight
Let it be closin' time
I can't go on livin' like this
I think you're lookin' for someone or something
That's either missin' or I just can't help you with

And I think it's time I hung a sign in the window
'Cause I'm tired, I'm so tired of my heart goin' broke
I'm goin' out of business
There's no need for you to come around
'Cause I'm closin' this memory down
I'm closin' this memory down

You don't know how hard love worked
But just how badly love hurt to fail
The phone rang...I said, "Hello."
He said, "Can we talk baby?"
And I said, "Darlin' I'm closin' this memory down."
I'm closin' this memory down
