[Verse 1] I saw you hurting but I turned away Not because I didn’t care, but I lost my way I loved you more than I could show But I was drowning and I didn’t let you know You were fire, strong and true And I felt small beside someone like you You gave me light, but I burned inside Afraid of love, too scared to try [Chorus] That’s why our love faded… I let the silence grow and stayed jaded You asked for truth I couldn’t speak So I chose comfort, I chose weak You waited there with open hands But I ran fast from where we’d stand You loved me right — I walked away That’s why our love faded [Verse 2] I didn’t mean to let us break But sometimes love feels like a weight And I was sinking in my fear So I disappeared year by year [Bridge] You were everything I couldn’t be You saw forever — I couldn’t see And I hate the way I let you down Without a word, without a sound [Final Chorus] Now I sit with all this shame Knowing I’m the one who changed the game You stayed strong, I slipped through And now it’s me who misses you I couldn’t give what you gave me But losing you set my heart free To realize — I was afraid And that’s why… Our love… faded.
