When the Light Fades

[Verse]
I saw it dim like a dying star
The way your gaze slipped
Wandered far
Your voice was soft
But it shook the air
I reached for something that wasn’t there
[Chorus]
When the light fades
It fades so slow
I’m watching love pack up and go
One blink
One breath
And it’s all untied
I see it leave your eyes
Your eyes
[Verse 2]
Your smile now hangs like a crooked frame
A picture of someone who forgot my name
I speak
But my words are shadows thin
You don’t even notice where I’ve been
[Prechorus]
Did I miss the signs
The subtle cues
Or was it always meant to lose
[Chorus]
When the light fades
It fades so slow
I’m watching love pack up and go
One blink
One breath
And it’s all untied
I see it leave your eyes
Your eyes
[Bridge]
The walls still hold our laughter’s echo
But your silence is the loudest shadow
I can’t rewind
I can’t replay
Just watch the love drift away
