Fading Lines

Your voice was a river
I could swim in for hours
Now it's a whisper
I'm chasing through the dark
Your face was a photograph
Burned into my eyes —
But every day that passes
Another detail dies

I'm scared to wake and find
You've faded from my mind

These fading lines
They're stealing you away
Your smile, your eyes
I fight to make them stay
If time is the thief
Then I'm holding the crime
I'll bleed in my dreams
To keep your fading lines

I trace the outline
Of your shadow in my head
But it's getting thinner
Like the words we never said
I keep your sweater
Though it's losing all your scent
It's the only thing
That still makes any sense

If I forget you
Will you disappear?
Or are you somewhere
Still holding me here?

These fading lines
They're stealing you away
Your smile, your eyes
I fight to make them stay
If time is the thief
Then I'm holding the crime
I'll bleed in my dreams
To keep your fading lines

These fading lines
They're stealing you away
Your smile, your eyes
I fight to make them stay
If time is the thief
Then I'm holding the crime
I'll bleed in my dreams
To keep your fading lines
