Fading Flowers

[Verse 1]
Vase on the table
Petals on the floor
You said “it’s better”
Then closed the door
Your coffee cup
Still by the sink
I wash my hands
But I still think
[Pre-Chorus]
I water roots that lost their color
Talking to a ghost of us
How did something bright and endless
Turn to dust
[Chorus]
Our love is fading flowers
Still standing
But they’re tired
Holding on to color
That the sun has long retired
I keep them for a while
Just to say we tried
Fading flowers
Fading flowers
That never learned to die
[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s hanging
On the same old chair
I wear it sometimes
To feel you there (oh)
Neighbors are laughing
Through the paper walls
I fake a smile
And let it fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I trace your name in cloudy windows
Watch it disappear again
Every drop that hits the glass
Feels like then
[Chorus]
Our love is fading flowers
Still standing
But they’re tired
Holding on to color
That the sun has long retired
I keep them for a while
Just to say we tried
Fading flowers
Fading flowers
That never learned to die
[Bridge]
Tell me
Are you sleeping well
Or do you see them too
Those flowers we forgot to throw
Still reaching out for you
I should take them to the river
Let them finally float away
But my hands
They just keep shaking
Every day
[Chorus]
Our love is fading flowers
Fragile
But they’re mine
Standing in the silence
On the edge of out of time
I keep them for a while
Till I whisper you goodbye
Fading flowers
Fading flowers
Teaching me
To die inside
