Core Memory Corrupt

In just a glimmer, it was there again
And I recognized
The one I knew a million years ago
The one I idolized
I had forgotten, I had quite ignored
Just how it felt

Ah, but time is passing slowly
And you never change your mind

It made me look again at all of this
It lit the dark
A little fragment of a memory
Just a little spark
Sometimes that's all it takes to make it all
Feel real again

Ah, but time is passing slowly
And you never change your mind

Less than expected
Just some respect and attention (ooh-hoo, yeah)
Less than expected
Please no more condescention (please, no more)

Less than expected
Just for someone to take notice (ooh-hoo, yeah)
Less than expected
Just wanna see your smile

The pathways never taken
Options you dismissed
So confused and shaken
The choices that led to this

Oh, but the memories remained close
Oh-oh, and the feeling never goes

There is a sparkle and there is a gleam
Behind the veil (behind the veil)
There is a knowledge and and a memory
That's not for sale (not for sale)
I sometimes wonder and I sometimes dream
But I never ever act

Ah, but time is passing slowly
And you never change your mind

I wonder what happened to you? (ooh-hoo, yeah)
Never forgotten
You don't remember me, do you? (Tell me, do you)
Never forgotten
My memory stays forever
Never forgotten
Just thought I saw that smile
