Fading Slowly
(Verse 1)
City lights reflecting through the rain tonight
I’ve been trying just to find a place to hide tonight
Every conversation echoes in my head again
You said forever but forever came to an end
I still keep your pictures deep inside my phone
Even when I’m smiling, I still feel alone
Maybe we were flames that burned too bright to last
Now I’m just somebody haunted by the past
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know
Some things never heal completely
Even love can leave so easily
Now your shadow follows me around
(Chorus)
We’re fading slowly
Like smoke disappearing in the midnight air
And you don’t know me
Like the version of myself that used to care
Now I’m dancing with my memories
Trying to survive these melodies
But every time your name comes close
My heart breaks slowly
(Verse 2)
Cold wind blowing through the hallways of my mind
Every little moment keeps replaying all the time
I was giving you the parts I couldn’t show before
Now there’s broken pieces scattered on the floor
People tell me I should let the pain dissolve
But they don’t understand the way you changed my thoughts
You were like a song I never wanted to end
Now silence feels louder than it’s ever been
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know
Some nights never lose their darkness
Some hearts never learn their purpose
Still I hear your voice somehow
(Chorus)
We’re fading slowly
Like smoke disappearing in the midnight air
And you don’t know me
Like the version of myself that used to care
Now I’m dancing with my memories
Trying to survive these melodies
But every time your name comes close
My heart breaks slowly
(Bridge)
If I could turn the clock around
Would we still burn or would we drown?
Maybe love was just a temporary light
But I still search for you at night
(Final Chorus)
We’re fading slowly
But your memory still lives inside my veins
And you still hold me
Even after all the distance and the pain
Now I’m lost inside these memories
Holding onto what we used to be
And every time the rain falls down
I break
