We’re Fading – Melody Briar Lyrics

I continue on with my responsibilities

To ignore the stark abnormality

Of this life I’m forced to live

Without you in it

But I admit, I contemplate

If any of this is worth the effort I make

When day by day, minute by minute

I’m getting lost, I’m drowning in it

I’ve been succeeding in remembering you

But it gets harder as I mark the days off

One day you’ll be dead long enough

That I’ll forget where all your stuff came from

And someday soon your smell will leave your clothes

When I die, where will our memoriеs go?

Will anybody wear our rings?

Will anyone remеmber our dreams?

We’re fading

You’re fading

I’m fading

We’re fading

You were the brightest sunbeam this Earth’s ever seen

But even the most memorable of us are time’s enemy

Do I sing your praise, or suffer silently

Because my love can’t stop the cruel inevitability

Of your life being reduced to a lock on a bridge?

Shiny cliches, abandoned, become rusted

And there will never be a new photo of you

Those who knew you will grow old and die too

And someday soon you’ll be gone longer than you’ve been alive

When I die, there will be no one who has witnessed your smile

Will my grandchildren think of me?

Will their grandchildren think of you?

We’re fading

You’re fading

I’m fading

We’re fading

You’re in my brain every day

To anyone who listens, I say your name

I carry your memory on my own

But it’s getting harder to recall our last call on the phone

Centuries from now, no one will think of us

We’d be lucky if a stranger walked by our ashes

And reads our name on some dusty tombstone

What the fuck was all our suffering for?

Those days with you are becoming a distant memory

It’s killing me (It’s killing me)

We’re fading

You’re fading

I’m fading

We’re fading
