[Intro] (fingerpicked acoustic, layered 12-string, rubato, no drums) [Verse 1 building slightly] There's a photograph fading On the nightstand by your side Two people who were burning Now just strangers in the light I remember how you laughed Like the whole world learned to sing Now the silence in this house Is the only thing that's real [Pre-Chorus] We used to fight to keep it Now we fight just to survive I'm tired of drowning slowly In a love that used to fly [Chorus: Metal power ballad power stacked harmonies] Watch it die, watch it fade Every word we used to say I loved you more than I could hold But holding on turned into cold It's sadly over, sadly done The war is lost, the war is won I let you go, I let it be Cause the drama's stronger than the memory [Verse 2] There's a version of you smiling In a summer I can't reach And a version of me kneeling Begging you to just stay near But that road turned into ashes Every promise wore too thin Now I'm learning how to breathe In the quiet after him... after her... after us [Pre-Chorus] We used to fight to keep it Now we fight just to survive I'm tired of drowning slowly In a love that used to fly [Chorus] Watch it die, watch it fade Every word we used to say I loved you more than I could hold But holding on turned into cold It's sadly over, sadly done The war is lost, the war is won I let you go, I let it be Cause the drama's stronger than the memory [Twin Electric Guitar solo] [Bridge] Maybe some loves are just seasons Meant to bloom then let us go Maybe letting go of you Is the only love I've got left to show [Key Change - Final Chorus] Watch it die, watch it fade Every word we used to say I loved you more than I could hold But holding on turned into cold It's sadly over, sadly done The war is lost, the war is won I let you go, I let it be Cause the drama's stronger than the memory [Outro] (acoustic returns, stripped back, fading) It's sadly over now It's sadly over now
