Lyrics

Cleaning out the boxes you left behind
When I find an old photograph of us in better times
You seem to be happy with your arms wrapped around my waist
But this picture and my memories are the only thing that stayed

And you fade
And you fade
Fade away

I remember those afternoons when we played all day in bed
Used to find in each other's arms things a poet could never have said
You used to be happy sharing the secrets of our own private faith
But all your promises were broken before they were made

And you fade
and you fade
Fade away

And as you drove off for good into that dusk,
I stood in that doorway between our past and what hurts too much
I watched as your tailights
Slowly blinked out of sight
Left me standing on this porch alone
But can I stand the night?

And you fade
And you Fade
Fade away
