Fade Away

Music & Lyrics by Tahiti Rey

Music by Jeremiah Gruenberg

“The dagger of his stare pierced through her defeated heart. The bond that once held up the walls they called home, had crumbled in the dark corners that they never chose to see.”

Lyrics

Verse 1

I’m not sure

If I’m willing and able

To keep my mind stable

The man I remember

He keeps haunting me

Behind these happy memories

Chorus 1

Like your fingerprints on our picture-frame

They’re all that’s left

Here of you that still remains

How’d we let love fade away?

Verse 2

I walk without knowing where I’m going

Just aimlessly roaming

I cry without making a sound

Just missing you around

I just wanna feel

Your hand behind my chair

Fingers playing in my hair

Chorus 2

Like our footprints in the sand

They’re washed away

Now I just don’t understand

How’d we let love slip through our hands?

Verse 3

This empty house

Well it once was our home

Now I’m all alone

The wind it blows

Through these empty hallways

Nothing smells like you anyway

Chorus 3

Like your fingerprints on our picture-frame

They’re all that’s left here of you that still remains

How’d we let love fade…

Like the faded flowers on the table

I died with them

Now they’re all of you that still remains

How’d we let love fade away?
