People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
But they don't realize

Is when your dialing six numbers just to hang up the phone.
Driving cross town just to see if she's home.
Waking a friend in the dead of night, just to hear 'em say it's gonna be alright.
When your finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams.
That's when she's
More than a memory

Took a match to everything she ever wrote
Watched her words go up in smoke
Tore all the pictures off the wall
But that ain't helping me at all.

'Cause when your talking out loud and nobody's there
You look like hell and you just don't care
Drinking more than you've ever drank
Sinking down lower than you've ever sank
When you find yourself falling down upon your knees,
Praying to God, begging him please
That's when she's
More than a memory

She's more
She's more

'Cause when your dialing her number just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of night, just to hear 'em say it's gonna be alright
When our finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she'll be waiting in your dreams
That's when she's
More than a memory

People say she's only in my head
Its gonna take time but I'll forget

    General Comment:This song is about a dude who crashed his truck and lost all his money in Enron stocks. When he is talking about "she" it is in fact his stock portfolio. He wants to get his money back but there is no way, it is simply gone forever. I know people think this song is about a girl but trust me its just the obvious tone to the song, the real meaning is much deeper.

    General Comment:The nice bit about this song is that it really doesn't have to mean that you broke up with someone. All it is saying is that she's gone. Why? Doesn't specify. It does lean towards a break up, but any of the signs that it is what is being talked about can be explained away as grief, to.

    General Comment:'Cause when you're talking out loud but no ones there
    you look like hell and you just don't care
    you're drinking more than you ever drank
    and sinking down lower than you ever sank
    then you find yourself falling on your knees
    Praying to God, beggin' him "please"

    i actually did this, well not the drinking but the rest yeah

    General Comment:this song is me back in fall/winter of 2004 through summer/fall of 2005. my g/f that was preg. died in a car wreck and it just kill me inside. I became an alcholic and did nothing but drink all the time. it got so bad that a 1/5 of vodka did nothing to me... noor would a 30 pack of beer. I still miss her, and since then I hate thinksgiving and x-mas, as she died the day before thanksgiving...

    General Comment:to me, it has more of a meaning than a relationship just ending.
    my girlfriend died. and this song kills me when i hear it.
    everything about her is more than a memory to me.
    i'll never hear her voice again, she'll never be at her house again, and i'd do anything to get her back.
