I said I'd never forget your face
Vaulted away inside my head
And memories never seem to fade
(Never seem to fade)
You were the best part of my life
(Best part of my life)
My last regret

Now I've walked this line
A thousand times before
(A thousand times before)
It hurts too much to bear
(Hurts too much to bear)
For you, I'd tear out my own heart
And write our names together

Your love is the barrel of a gun
So tell me, am I on the right end?
I could be nothing but a memory to you
Don't let this memory fade away

And in the end
We're turning on and off again
There's a look in your eye
And it's screaming goodbye
I'd hate to watch you cry
(Hate to watch you cry)

Your love is the barrel of a gun
So tell me, am I on the right end?
I could be nothing but a memory to you
Don't let this memory fade away

There's a look in your eye
And it's screaming goodbye
Now it tears me apart
Just to look at the sky
But I'd hate to watch you cry
I'd hate to watch you cry

Your love is the barrel of a gun
So tell me, am I on the right end?
I could be nothing but a memory to you
Don't let this memory fade away

    My Opinion:This song is so amazing!! Even though I'm a fairly new fan (I didn't know them last christmas), I prefer their older stuff to Nothing Personal. I think this is their best yet, but it's a REALLY hard descision. Ask me my favourite song and I'll name ten. =] They probably won't but I'm begging God, Allah, Budha, whoever is up there, to have them play it on the 9th March. I swear I'll cry if they do. =']
    And to you, wiping your ass on Fall Out Boy, go to hell! All Time Low have openly said they were inspired by them, so you should be thanking them: Without Fall Out Boy, there would be no All Time Low, or at least, they wouldn't be the same, and that would make this world a sad, sad place.

    General Comment:Ok, first of all, ATL is at least a bit comparable to FOB, yet so different. And FOB is an amazingly, incredible band, so don't bash them. It's very rude to bitch them out, if you don't like them, that's okay, just don't insult them on a fucking website like this. And second, this song is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GENIUS BEAUTIFUL!!:)<3<3<3<3<3 It hits me like no other. And, fourth, it is neither Jack nor Zack doing the screaming part, it's a friend from home- check on ATL<3's website.
