Fading Tides

[Verse 1]
You moved between the channels
Hands in both waters, slow, careful
I saw the bond break slowly
Felt the tug I could not hold

[Pre-Chorus]
You called it balance, called it care
But standing here left me bare

[Chorus 1]
Fading Tides, I can’t linger
Where our ways pull apart
Some doors don’t slam, they close politely
When loyalty fails the heart

[Verse 2]
We shared waters running deep
Times that still shine in my mind
But neutral touches can’t steady all
Some courses leave echoes behind

[Mini-Pre-Chorus]
The ebb shifts, the night grows thin
I feel the edges tug within

[Verse 3]
I’ve traced the lines where they bend
Felt the weight of drift and sway
Some cannot hold both sides at once
And some bonds fade beyond my reach

[Mini-Chorus 2]
Ways diverge, the night is still
Some doors close beyond my will

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
This isn’t blame, it’s just space
A quiet edge to let us breathe
I hope the ties you choose stay true
But mine unravel, so I leave

[Chorus 2]
Fading Tides, I’m stepping away
Where our ties pull apart
Some doors don’t slam, they fade quietly
Leaving space for separate hearts

[Outro]
No ill will — I mean it plain
I’m not walking these waters again

[Solo Fading Tides moments]
Fading Tides
Fading Tides
Fading Tides
