Fading Light

Sitting on the weathered bench, watching the sun bleed red Fingers brush the cooling wind, as the day breathes its last thread Shadows stretch like tired ghosts, wandering through empty streets No one hears the quiet sighs, trapped between my broken beats Why does beauty fade so fast? Like a flame that can’ t last The sky turns gray, swallowing the light I held so tight Every smile feels like a lie, every hope a fading sigh How to love what’ s slipping by? Fading light, paint the world in blue and gray Whispered goodbyes, to the warmth that slipped away I try to hold on, but the night keeps pulling hard Why does the world feel like a song that’ s lost its chord? Fading light, I’ m drowning in the quiet pain Wanna believe, but the darkness feels so plain Is there a way to love what’ s breaking at the seams? Oh, fading light, won’ t you stay a little longer please? Footsteps echo through the dusk, as I walk the lonely way Leaves fall like forgotten dreams, crumpling under my sway The moon peeks through the clouds, cold as a stranger’ s gaze I reach for something real, but all I touch is empty space Why does kindness feel so rare? Like a flower in despair The stars go dim, as the last of sunlight dies within Every breath feels heavy now, every wound a silent vow How to trust what lets me down? Fading light, paint the world in blue and gray Whispered goodbyes, to the warmth that slipped away I try to hold on, but the night keeps pulling hard Why does the world feel like a song that’ s lost its chord? Fading light, I’ m drowning in the quiet pain Wanna believe, but the darkness feels so plain Is there a way to love what’ s breaking at the seams? Oh, fading light, won’ t you stay a little longer please? I’ m not asking for the sun to shine forever bright Just a moment to breathe, to feel that I’ m alive Maybe there’ s a crack in the dark, where a little love can start Won’ t you meet me in the in- between, before the night steals all the green? Fading light, paint the world in blue and gray Whispered goodbyes, to the warmth that slipped away I try to hold on, but the night keeps pulling hard Why does the world feel like a song that’ s lost its chord? Fading light, I’ m drowning in the quiet pain Wanna believe, but the darkness feels so plain Is there a way to love what’ s breaking at the seams? Oh, fading light, won’ t you stay a little longer please? Fading light… the day is gone Fading light… won’ t you hold on? Fading light… I’ m still here, trying
