Fading Softly (Version 2)

Verse

Four months gone since your key stopped turning in the lock

Still finding your smile on the coffee cup in the sock drawer's fold

The streetlights are different this time, but my skin remembers

Every kiss we stole when sunset was a burning ember

Your cologne still lingers where you used to sit and write

I'm tracing your handprint on the glass, it's starting to lose its light

We said forever, but I guess forever isn't long enough

Now every day feels like a page turning into nothing

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this what love means? Leaving me with just a glow?

Is that better than never knowing you at all?

Chorus

Fading softly, but it's still warm

Every moment we had is leaving my skin but it's not gone yet

Fading softly, like the sun into gray

I'm holding on to what's left of every day

Verse

Your old guitar leans against the door where you used to put your bag

I pick a string and nothing sounds quite right with this empty stage

We'd drive for hours when the city got too loud

Now I just sit here in this silence, trying to find my way out

I keep expecting your voice in every crowded place

But all that comes is strangers' laughter filling up the space

Your eyes still flash like a wildfire in my dreams

And I wake up thinking maybe love never really ends

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this what love means? Leaving me with just a glow?

Is that better than never knowing you at all?

Chorus

Fading softly, but it's still warm

Every moment we had is leaving my skin but it's not gone yet

Fading softly, like the sun into gray

I'm holding on to what's left of every day

Bridge

Maybe love don't finish when someone walks away

Maybe it stays soft in your chest till your final day

It never fully fades, just turns into gold

So I'll keep this feeling even when you're not here to hold

Chorus

Fading softly, but it's still warm

Every moment we had is leaving my skin but it's not gone yet

Fading softly, like the sun into gray

I'm holding on to what's left of every day
