[Intro: 16 bars] (Vinyl crackle, acoustic strum. Set a bittersweet, reflective mood) [Verse 1] Your name bleeds through the paper grain, A whisper lost in the pouring rain. Words fade, but your echoes stay, Ghosts of love in shades of gray. [Chorus] Faded ink, but the story stays. Gentle decay throughout our days. Memories fade with quiet grace, As we wrote hope in an empty space. [Verse 2] Pages torn, but the heart remains, Lines grow dim but loves unchained. We held on through sun and rain, Our whispered story etched in the stain. [Chorus Intro] (Gentle oohs. Warm, supportive bass) [Chorus] Faded ink, but the story stays. Gentle decay throughout our days. Memories fade with quiet grace, As we wrote hope in an empty space. [Bridge] (Drums/vocals only. Intimate, emotional.) Every word a memory, Every tear a melody. We’re dreaming what we used to be, Like faded ink, you’ve gone from me. [Final Chorus] Faded ink, but the story stays. Gentle decay throughout our days. Memories fade with quiet grace, As we wrote hope in an empty space. [Outro: 8 bars] (Acoustic fade, vinyl hiss, vocals only. Intimate, somber, emotional) Like faded ink, you’re drifting away. All I have is an empty space
