There's a van out in the drive
  It's time to divide everything up
  We've taken down the bed
  Where so many nights we made love
  We've gone through everything
  And given back the rings we once cherished
  You can take the things you want
  And leave the things you don't
  But as for me
  
  
  I'll take the memories
  You can have the rest
  I know we've had some bad times
  But our good times were the best
  There's so many keepsakes
  After all that we've been through
  But I'll take the memories
  If I can't have you
  
  I don't know just what I'll do
  I've been so used to loving you
  For such a long time
  And even though I've tried
  There's no way that I can get you off my mind
  So while we're packing up our lives
  And saying our goodbyes
  I wanna tell you
  You can take the things you want
  And leave the things you don't
  But as for me
  
  I'll take the memories
  You can have the rest
  I know we've had some bad times
  But our good times were the best
  There's so many keepsakes
  After all that we've been through
  But I'll take the memories
  If I can't have you
