Fade of My Flame

[Intro] Soft rain on windowpane, a quiet confession begins I keep your name in every breath, like tides that won’t rescind [Verse 1] I see you in the crowded room, a lighthouse I can't reach I pour my compass into your hands, though you never feel the breeze My heart writes your name on every dawn, in ink that never dries While you smile at distant shadows, and pretend I’m not alive [Chorus] If devotion is a flame, I’m the spark you never see I burn for you in whispers, you answer with a breeze I carry all my oceans, though you stay on shore inside the grey Hoping you’ll turn, someday, and see me fade away [Verse 2] I guard your secrets like a temple, sacred, cold, and true I count the hours you don’t notice me, the minutes lost to you Your indifference is a quiet storm that teaches me to breathe anew But every breath is heavier now, because you don’t feel it too [Chorus] If devotion is a flame, I’m the spark you never see I burn for you in whispers, you answer with a breeze I carry all my oceans, though you stay on shore inside the grey Hoping you’ll turn, someday, and see me fade away [Bridge] I’ll keep the vow I never spoke, a vow that holds me tight To love you from the hush of night, to be your distant light If forever is a doorway, I stand on the other side Listening for your footsteps, and praying you’ll meet my eyes [Chorus] If devotion is a flame, I’m the spark you never see I burn for you in whispers, you answer with a breeze I carry all my oceans, though you stay on shore inside the grey Hoping you’ll turn, someday, and see me fade away [Outro] So I’ll bow to your horizon, where you walk without a trace And keep your name within my pulse, as a soft, unspoken grace
