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?
