Fading Ink (versione 2)

Verse

Crayon on the counter, drawing a line

I was ten years old and I drew your face twice

The ink had faded by the time we turned eighteen

Every birthday still got my name in red

I don't write letters like I used to

Pens run out of blue before they ever turn dull

Pre-Chorus

Do you remember the way we wrote our names?

Is it just a memory or did something remain?

Chorus

Fading ink, but we still found our place

We may not be seventeen with a permanent pace

But your name was the one I could never erase

Fading ink, and it's still on my page

Fading ink, like every single time

Fading ink, but you're still in my mind

Verse 2

Pencils broke in half, erasers lost their charm

I kept writing just because I thought we'd come back around again

Every line I drew was a prayer that things would turn around

But the pen ran out of ink before we ever did

Your hands still hold the paper from the last time we wrote

Do you think it's crazy how some scars never fade?

Pre-Chorus

Do you remember the way we wrote our names?

Is it just a memory or did something remain?

Chorus

Fading ink, but we still found our place

We may not be seventeen with a permanent pace

But your name was the one I could never erase

Fading ink, and it's still on my page

Fading ink, like every single time

Fading ink, but you're still in my mind

Bridge

It wasn't the line that lasted all these years

It was who drew it in the first place

Chorus

Fading ink, but we still found our place

We may not be seventeen with a permanent pace

But your name was the one I could never erase

Fading ink, and it's still on my page

Fading ink, like every single time

Fading ink, but you're still in my mind
