Fading Light

*(Verse 1)*

Used to run like the rivers flow,

Had dreams bigger than the sky could hold.

But now the days move slow, too slow,

And every breath feels bought and sold.

*(Pre-Chorus)*

I fought, I raged,

Clawed at every door I could break.

But it's stronger now,

And I'm too tired to push back fate.

*(Chorus)*

Let the waves take me,

Let the stars dim their shine.

I am slipping, softly drifting,

In the arms of borrowed time.

*(Verse 2)*

Mirror shows a stranger now,

Bones too frail to wear my name.

Used to be a storm, now just a whisper,

A candle flickering in the rain.

*(Bridge)*

Don't cry for me when morning comes,

The sun will rise like it always has.

Remember love, the laughter, the wild,

Not the way my body passed.

*(Chorus - Repeat)*

Let the waves take me,

Let the stars dim their shine.

I am slipping, softly drifting,

In the arms of borrowed time.

*(Outro)*

And when I’m gone,

Don’t hold on too tight.

I’ll be somewhere,

Still part of the fading light.
