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 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, 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
