Fading Embrace

Your coffee cup is cold on the kitchen counter

I left the letters untouched in the drawer

We painted walls we never got to live in

Now I don't know what we were fighting for (hmmm)

I see your coat behind the door

And I'm not ready to let it go

(no, I'm not ready)

Oh, why

did we write this page in pencil?

Just to rub out everything we knew

I am still holding on to the outline of you

(yeah, the outline of you)

I hear your footsteps in the empty hallway

But it's just the rain tapping on the glass

We traded futures for some bitter memories

Funny how fast a beautiful thing can pass

We built a home out of cards and promises

And we watched it fall

in the wind (how did we let it fall?)

I am still holding on... (humm)

To the outline of you
