Faded Roses

Yeah, uh, let me tell you 'bout this one If I could throw it back, rewind the clock, you see I'd be Jack Dawson, yeah, that's who I'd be Meet you, fall in love, a love that's meant to stay You'd be my Rose, my precious gold, come what may Protect you from anything, yeah, that's the plan Until we both turn old, holding each other's hand But timing, it was always off, a twisted fate Met you when I was taken, sealed by a date You said"Wait for me" but eight long years went by Promises unkept, under a cloudy sky You switched through three, tried to catch my eye Yearning for attention, a silent cry But I was bound, couldn't interfere your scene Moral chains locked me, a duty so keen This was the reason, we couldn't be, it's true Yet, somehow, I still walked down this path for you Now our friendship's fading, barely even that Even in letting go, this feeling is a trap All the moments we shared, the laughter and the tears Now just echoes of what was, fueled by all these years A melancholic melody, a somber refrain Reflecting on the choices, the joy and the pain You switched through three, tried to catch my eye Yearning for attention, a silent cry But I was bound, couldn't interfere your scene Moral chains locked me, a duty so keen This was the reason, we couldn't be, it's true Yet, somehow, I still walked down this path for you Yeah, the path for you.. even when I knew We were never meant to be..never meant to be..
