[Verse]
I held your hand in the quiet rain
The streetlights whispered your name again
Your shadow stretched but never stayed
[Prechorus]
How do I keep the echoes near
When the sound of you is all I hear
[Chorus]
You were the fire I couldn’t hold
A fleeting warmth in a world so cold
Now you're a fading shadow
A fading shadow
[Verse 2]
The clock just ticks
It mocks the still
Each second bites
It bends my will
Your scent lingers but it fades too soon
[Prechorus]
The moonlight falls where you once stood
I’d pull it back
I wish I could
[Chorus]
You were the fire I couldn’t hold
A fleeting warmth in a world so cold
Now you're a fading shadow
A fading shadow
