The presents, the notes The letters I wrote The holliday photoes on my parents boat I will not let you destroy what we had I will not let you destroy what we had The boys have their bands And the girls have their plans They dissolve all the logic of how it all began I will not let you destroy what we had I will not let you destroy what we had Then I can sit here with songs I can't listen to And movies I can't stand to see And photos I'll never look at Cause they have you there right next to me But then how can you pick up your things And dare to say that you're sad How can something that started so softly Just harden, turn sour and bad But I will not let you destroy what we had I will not let you destroy what we had I will not let; I'm not gonna let you I will not let you destroy all that we had So I'll write you a month of love songs And preserve what we used to be Somewhere in the chords of the memory These, unlike yourself, you cannot take from me
