"Fading Photographs" is a second original composition inspired by the soulful and raw musicality of Lewis Capaldi. This track delves into the painful process of watching memories fade while being unable to move on from a past love.
From the intimate piano verses to the powerful, anthemic chorus, "Fading Photographs" is a journey through heartbreak and the ghosts of what used to be.
(Lyric)
Fading Photographs
(Verse 1)
Another morning breaks, but the light feels just the same
Another empty space beside me, whispering your name
I trace the lines of old photographs, trying to recall the flame
But even memories start to blur, a cruel and silent game
(Pre-Chorus)
They say time heals all wounds, a cliché I despise
'Cause every passing moment just brings tears to my eyes
I built these walls around my heart, a fortress of disguise
But deep inside, I'm still the fool who fell for all your lies
(Chorus)
And I'm stuck in the silence, where your laughter used to be
Haunted by the echoes of a love that set me free
Only to chain me to this pain, for all eternity
Just fading photographs, all that's left of you and me
(Verse 2)
I walk through crowded streets, searching for a familiar face
But every stranger's gaze reminds me of your vacant space
I try to find distraction, a temporary saving grace
But every song on the radio just puts me back in that place
(Pre-Chorus)
They say time heals all wounds, a cliché I despise
'Cause every passing moment just brings tears to my eyes
I built these walls around my heart, a fortress of disguise
But deep inside, I'm still the fool who fell for all your lies
(Chorus)
And I'm stuck in the silence, where your laughter used to be
Haunted by the echoes of a love that set me free
Only to chain me to this pain, for all eternity
Just fading photographs, all that's left of you and me
(Bridge)
Maybe I'm meant to carry this burden, a cross I have to bear
Maybe some loves are just designed to leave us in despair
But I'd give anything to go back, to that moment we first shared
Before the world turned cold, and left me standing here, unprepared
(Chorus)
And I'm stuck in the silence, where your laughter used to be
Haunted by the echoes of a love that set me free
Only to chain me to this pain, for all eternity
Just fading photographs, all that's left of you and me
(Outro)
Just fading photographs... a ghost of what we used to be...
Oh, a ghost of you and me...
