Fading Glow

[Intro] Gloom on the skyline, echoes in my chest Used to plant hope, now it’s a weathered crest [Verse 1] I filled my days with you, the warmth that never slept Now the shelves are empty, promises have wept I walk the same streets where our laughter rang But every step reminds me of a broken clang [Chorus] What happened to the light we used to know? I reach for you, but you’re a fading glow If love is a river, mine’s run dry and cold Holding a story that’s already been told [Verse 2] I used to fill you up, with words and open hands Now I’m learning to stand alone, to understand The chapters of us lie scattered on the floor I’m tearing out the pages, searching for the door [Chorus] What happened to the light we used to know? I reach for you, but you’re a fading glow If love is a river, mine’s run dry and cold Holding a story that’s already been told [Bridge] If tomorrow comes and I mend these walls again I’ll build a new sunrise from the pain we penned But for tonight I’m learning to let go To find my own sunrise, line by line, glow by glow [Chorus] What happened to the light we used to know? I reach for you, but you’re a fading glow If love is a river, mine’s run dry and cold Holding a story that’s already been told [Outro] So I breathe, and I begin to heal inside Letting go of us, not the love I can’t hide
