Fading Light

I count the ceiling cracks again In

the quiet, I

pretend

(ahhhh) I sit in the dark like it's a room

Where all our little promises bloom

Now every word I said to you

Falls heavy like a winter coat (hummmm)

And I keep reaching for your name

But my hands come back the same If love was light,

I lost the flame I watch it fade behind my eyes (ahhhh)

I’m still sitting in the dark

Holding pieces of my heart

If you’re gone, then tell me why

I still look for you

in every goodbye (ooh)

Your jacket’s still on the back of my chair Like you might

walk in, unaware

I practice laughing in my head So no one asks if I’m

okay (hummmm)

If I could rewind one small night I’d say the truth and

hold you tight But time just keeps its steady pace And I’m

alone inside this place (ahhhh)

I’m still sitting in the dark

Holding pieces of my heart

If you’re gone, then tell me why

I still look for you

in every goodbye (ooh)

I turn the light off once again And let the silence be

my friend (ahhhh)
