How Did It Fade

(Verse 1)
Lord, how can beautiful things change overnight?  
How does love so pure lose its shine?
Once there was trust, now it’s just a ghost,  
Where did the faith go that we loved the most?  

(Pre-Chorus)
All the good times, how did they slip away?  
Lost in the shadows, where did they stray?  

(Chorus)
How can wonderful things fade so fast?  
When everything was good, how did it break at last?  
When the light was shining, how did it turn so dark?  
How do you find the fire when it’s lost its spark?  
When joy turns to anger, and love turns to pain,  
How do you start over after falling again?  
Lord, how can beautiful things change overnight?  
Tell me, how do I bring back the light?  

(Verse 2)
Once our hearts danced in the warmth of the sun,  
Now I wonder, how did we come undone?  
The flame that burned so bright, now just an ember,  
Can we find a way to make it remember?  

(Pre-Chorus)
All the laughter, now just echoes in the rain,  
What’s left of us, caught in this pain?  

(Chorus)
How can wonderful things fade so fast?  
When everything was good, how did it break at last?  
When the light was shining, how did it turn so dark?  
How do you find the fire when it’s lost its spark?  
When joy turns to anger, and love turns to pain,  
How do you start over after falling again?  
Lord, how can beautiful things change overnight?  
Tell me, how do I bring back the light?  

(Bridge)
Is there a way to turn back time?  
To hold onto what was once mine?  
Or do we just have to let it go,  
And hope someday it’ll grow?  

(Outro)
Lord, how can beautiful things change overnight?  
How do I find the strength to make it right?  
Hold on to the hope, to the love we knew,  
And pray for a dawn that’s fresh and new.
