Fading Polaroids

Verse 1

We were frozen in the summer light

Laughing like the world was ours

Now the edges blur with time

Like colours bleeding out

Your name’s still on the back of mine

Written in a careless hand

Didn’t know those little moments

Were the best we’d ever have

⸻

Pre-Chorus

We said forever way too young

Like it was something we could hold

Now every memory I touch

Is getting old

⸻

Chorus

We’re fading polaroids

Left out in the sun

Every smile we swore was real

Is coming undone

I hold the picture closer

But it slips through my hands

Yeah, we’re fading polaroids

Of who we were back then

⸻

Verse 2

Your voice still lives inside my head

Like an echo down the hall

I keep replaying all the nights

I thought we’d never fall

We promised we’d never change

But change don’t ask permission

Now I’m stuck between what we were

And what we’ve been missing

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I trace the cracks across your face

Try to remember how it felt

But every time I look again

You’re someone else

⸻

Chorus

We’re fading polaroids

Left out in the sun

Every smile we swore was real

Is coming undone

I hold the picture closer

But it slips through my hands

Yeah, we’re fading polaroids

Of who we were back then

⸻

Bridge

Maybe we weren’t meant to last

Maybe love don’t stay the same

But I’d give anything to go back

Before the picture changed

⸻

Final Chorus (Soft + Emotional)

We’re fading polaroids

But I still see you clear

Even if the colours run

I’ll keep you here

If time erases everything

It won’t erase the truth

We were fading polaroids

But I still loved you

⸻

Outro

Still loved you
