[Intro – Female vocal over pulsing synth] Some things disappear. Some things become part of you. [Drums enter] [Verse 1] I don't remember what you wore The night we met beneath the rain I can't recall the words you used But I remember how they changed me Time stole details from the picture Faces blur and seasons turn But somewhere underneath the years There are things that never burn [Pre-Chorus] Names get lost Photographs fade Cities change And people walk away But you... You stayed [Chorus] NEVER-FADING! LIKE A FIRE UNDERNEATH MY SKIN! NEVER-FADING! EVERYWHERE I END YOU STILL BEGIN! Years can take the colors Time can rearrange me But what you gave my heart Will always be Never-fading! Never-fading! You are still alive in me! [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh! Never-fading! Oh-oh-oh! Alive in me! [Verse 2] Maybe we were only meant To share a chapter, not a life Maybe some forever things Are never measured out in time You taught me how to laugh again I taught you how to stay Then both of us became somebody Who had to walk away [Pre-Chorus] Doors will close The seasons change Even love can learn A different name But you... You stayed [Chorus] NEVER-FADING! LIKE A FIRE UNDERNEATH MY SKIN! NEVER-FADING! EVERYWHERE I END YOU STILL BEGIN! Years can take the colors Time can rearrange me But what you gave my heart Will always be Never-fading! Never-fading! You are still alive in me! [Instrumental – soaring guitar melody + strings] [Bridge – stripped] And if someday I forget your voice Forget the way you said my name I won't be afraid Because forgetting details doesn't mean the love was erased Some people leave fingerprints on places memory cannot reach [Build] So wherever you are... Whatever you've become... Thank you. [Drums slam back] [Final Chorus] NEVER-FADING! LIKE THE SUN BEHIND A MIDNIGHT SKY! NEVER-FADING! NOTHING BEAUTIFUL HAS TO TRULY DIE! LET THE YEARS COME TAKE ME! LET THE WHOLE WORLD CHANGE ME! THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PIECE OF YOU NEVER-FADING! NEVER-FADING! YOU ARE STILL ALIVE IN ME! [Choir] Alive! Alive! Alive in me! [Female] And maybe... I'm still alive in you. [Outro – synth pulse + piano] Never-fading...
