[Instrumental Intro - Piano and ambient guitar swell] [Verse 1] The coffee’s cold, the chairs still turned your way Your laughter hangs in the air like yesterday I walk the halls and see the marks we made But time won’t bend or help me find the words to say [Chorus] Where did our colors fade? When did we lose the light? Every answer slips away In the dark of quiet nights I’m standing where we said goodbye Still asking why, still asking why [Verse 2] Your picture leans, the frame begins to crack The echo of your voice keeps pulling me back I reach for something that I can’t repair You’re everywhere, and yet you’re never there [Chorus] Where did our colors fade? When did we lose the light? Every answer slips away In the dark of quiet nights I’m standing where we said goodbye Still asking why, still asking why [Bridge - soft build with strings] Maybe love was just the tide Pulling us close, then drawing wide If I could change the way it ends Would we begin again? [Chorus - full build, emotional lift] Where did our colors fade? When did we lose the light? Every answer slips away In the dark of quiet nights I’m standing where we said goodbye Still asking why, still asking why [Chorus - full build, emotional lift] Where did our colors fade? When did we lose the light? Every answer slips away In the dark of quiet nights I’m standing where we said goodbye Still asking why, still asking why [Outro - piano and reverb guitar fade] I’m still here, under our sky Whispering why, whispering why
