Fading Light

We met under neon lights (Mmm) Your eyes, a spark in the night A little smile, a little glance Didn't take much for us to dance We talked for hours, lost in time Every word felt like a sign Didn't know where this would go But we let the feelings flow Soft laughter in the morning haze Hands tracing futures we could chase No second thoughts, just you and me Two lost souls finally free And we swore we'd never change (Oh) Built a castle in the rain (Mmm) Didn't see the tide would rise Didn't think we'd compromise We meet, we crave, we dive, we fall We learn, we dream, we risk it all Then we fight, we break, we burn, we fade We lose it all, we turn away First touch, first kiss, electric waves Breathing fast, hearts out of place Nights spent making endless plans Whispered love with trembling hands You painted skies inside my head Told me stories in my bed Of all the places we would see Of all the dreams you had with me But days grew long, nights felt cold We held on tight, but lost control Words we spoke turned into knives Cutting deep into our lives And I tried to hold you close (Oh) But love fades like melting snow (Mmm) Didn't see the cracks would show Didn't know how far we'd go We meet, we crave, we dive, we fall We learn, we dream, we risk it all Then we fight, we break, we burn, we fade We lose it all, we turn away Now your name is just a sound (Oh) Echoes lost inside this town (Mmm) Two strangers walking past the past Like we never even asked Memories trapped inside the dust Of places where we put our trust Streetlights dim where we once stood If I could stop time, I swear I would But you're just a shadow now (Oh) One I barely talk about (Mmm) We wrote a story meant to last But turned the pages way too fast Now I sit in empty bars Tracing maps of all our scars Wondering if you feel the same Or if you even say my name Do you wake up in the night Looking for me on your side? Or did you burn it all away Like we never had those days? But your ghost still haunts my soul (Mmm) Didn't see the signs back then Didn't know love had an end We meet, we crave, we dive, we fall We learn, we dream, we risk it all Then we fight, we break, we burn, we fade We lose it all, we turn away Fading lights, fading dreams Fading words lost in between Fading hearts, fading touch Guess we wanted this too much Fading lights, fading days Fading love that slipped away Fading names, fading pain Guess we'll never be the same...
