(Verse 1)
We built a home on borrowed time
Whispered dreams we called divine
But silence grew where laughter stayed
And I can’t fight the mess we made
(Pre-Chorus)
You say it’s love, but I can’t feel
The way it burned when it was real
(Chorus)
So let me fade before the dawn
Before the light shows what’s gone wrong
Don’t pull me close, don’t make me stay
Just love me softly as I fade
(Verse 2)
You trace the ghost of who I was
In shadows made of what we lost
I see your eyes, but not the flame
And nothing’s ever felt the same
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m holding on to what we knew
But I can’t lie — I’m losing you
(Chorus)
So let me fade before the dawn
Before the light shows what’s gone wrong
Don’t pull me close, don’t make me stay
Just love me softly as I fade
(Bridge)
Maybe love was never ours to keep
Just something borrowed while we dreamed
And when the morning breaks apart
I’ll still remember where you are
(Final Chorus)
So let me fade before the dawn
Before the light shows what’s gone wrong
Don’t pull me close, don’t make me stay
Just love me softly as I fade
