Lyrics
Used to see you in the morning light
Coffee brewing, everything felt right
Now I'm staring at an empty chair
Wondering how we ended up here
Your photographs still line the wall
But they don't mean much at all
When the silence fills this room
And I'm drowning in the gloom
I'm fading away, fading away
Like shadows at the break of day
All the words I should have said
Keep spinning round inside my head
I'm fading away, fading away
Wish I could turn back yesterday
But you're gone and I remain
Learning how to live with pain
Memory lane's a dangerous road
When you're carrying this heavy load
Every corner holds a ghost
Of the love I miss the most
I keep reaching for my phone
But I know you're not coming home
Pride and fear have built this wall
Now I'm watching as we fall
I'm fading away, fading away
Like shadows at the break of day
All the words I should have said
Keep spinning round inside my head
I'm fading away, fading away
Wish I could turn back yesterday
But you're gone and I remain
Learning how to live with pain
If I could hold you one more time
Tell you that you're always mine
Would it change the way you feel?
Could we make this broken real?
I'm fading away, fading away
But maybe there's another way
To find the strength to start again
And learn to love through all this pain
I'm fading away, but I'll be okay
Tomorrow brings another day
Though you're gone, I still remain
I'll find my way through all this pain
In the morning light
I'll be alright
In the morning light...
