**Verse 1:**

The room grows cold, the light grows dim

I'm counting all the might-have-beens

Should've held her closer when I had the chance

Should've said I'm sorry, should've asked to dance

The years roll by like strangers passing through

All the dreams I left for someday never knew

That someday never comes when you're always waiting

For the perfect time that keeps on hesitating

**Chorus:**

Now I'm standing at the edge of everything

With empty hands and words I'll never sing

The weight of all I didn't do or say

Is heavier than living ever weighed

If I could turn back all the sands of time

I'd love a little harder, live a little wide

But the fading light don't lie

Oh, the fading light don't lie

**Verse 2:**

I built my walls so high and strong

But kept the right ones out too long

Chased the money, missed the moments worth the gold

Now I'm rich in regrets and my heart's grown old

Those photographs of chances that I passed

Now they're all that's left, and they're fading fast

My children's eyes once looked at me with wonder

Now I see the distance that I put us under

**Chorus:**

Now I'm standing at the edge of everything

With empty hands and words I'll never sing

The weight of all I didn't do or say

Is heavier than living ever weighed

If I could turn back all the sands of time

I'd love a little harder, live a little wide

But the fading light don't lie

Oh, the fading light don't lie

**Bridge:**

I see their faces like a film unwinding

All the people I kept on reminding

Tomorrow, later, not today

And tomorrow came and slipped away

**Final Chorus:**

Now I'm standing at the edge of alone

Reaching for a life I should've known

The weight of all I didn't do or say

Is all I'll carry when I fade away

If you can hear me on the other side

Don't wait, don't waste it, just open your eyes

'Cause the fading light don't lie

No, the fading light won't lie

**Outro:**

The room grows still, the light grows thin

I'm letting go of what could've been

But if my story finds its way to you

Don't let regret be what you're holding to
