"Fading Away"

I still hear your laughter, echoes in my mind,

Back when we were fearless, running out of time.

But somewhere in the shadows, you lost your way,

Chasing down a high that took you far away.

Tried to pull you back, but you wouldn't hear,

Drowning in the silence, swallowed by the fear.

I watched you slipping, slipping through my hands,

Now I'm left with memories and grains of sand.

You're fading away, like a ghost in the night,

Lost in a world where the stars lost their light.

I called out your name, but the echoes just die,

You're here, but you're gone—tell me, why?

Used to dream together, futures set in stone,

Now I walk alone down roads we used to know.

Every time I see you, there's a stranger in your eyes,

The boy I knew is buried deep inside.

Tried to pull you back, but you wouldn't hear,

Drowning in the silence, swallowed by the fear.

I watched you slipping, slipping through my hands,

Now I'm left with memories and grains of sand.

You're fading away, like a ghost in the night,

Lost in a world where the stars lost their light.

I called out your name, but the echoes just die,

You're here, but you're gone—tell me, why?

I can’t fight your demons, can’t chase them away,

I’d trade my tomorrow to bring back yesterday.

But you’re out of reach, lost in the tide,

I’m screaming for you, but you're waving goodbye.

You're fading away, like a ghost in the night,

Lost in a world where the stars lost their light.

I called out your name, but the echoes just die,

You're here, but you're gone—tell me, why?

I still hear your laughter, echoes in my mind,

But now it’s just a whisper… lost in time.
