When the Final Light Fades

Verse 1

The room grows quiet as the world slows down,

Shadows stretching long across familiar ground.

My breath is thinning like a fading flame,

And every memory whispers my name.

Verse 2

I see the roads I should’ve taken,

The hands I held, the bonds I’ve shaken.

Faces float like lanterns through my mind,

Guiding me back through the threads of time.

Pre-Chorus

I reach for moments that slip through my hands,

Grains of a life I can’t reclaim or understand.

Chorus

In these last moments before the light fades,

I’m counting the choices I wish I had made.

All the words I never found the courage to say

Echo like thunder as they drift away.

If I could rewrite the story I leave behind…

I’d learn how to love with less fear in my mind.

Verse 3

I see the child I was—wild, unafraid,

Dreams burning brighter than the plans I made.

Somewhere along the years I lost the spark,

Chased empty laughter and hid from the dark.

Bridge

I wish I had told them I needed them more,

I wish I had knocked on the unopened door.

I wish I had stayed when I chose to run—

Stayed to say sorry, stayed to be someone.

Breakdown (Emotional)

I lived,

I loved,

I failed,

I tried—

And now I whisper my truths

To the turning tide.

Chorus (Final)

In these last moments before the light fades,

I’m holding the memories that never decayed.

And though regrets fall heavy like rain,

There’s warmth in the laughter that still remains.

If the world remembers one part of me…

Let it be the love I never let them see.

Outro

As the colors dim and the shadows start to climb,

I breathe in the endings

And let go of time.
