Fading Tides

Verse 1

I’ve held too tight, and they slipped away,

I’ve let them breathe, and still, they didn’t stay.

I’ve whispered words, I’ve screamed in vain,

But love’s a tide that can’t be chained.

Pre-Chorus

Every choice, every move I’ve made,

A losing battle, a shadowed parade.

No matter the strength, no matter the care,

They always vanish into the air.

Chorus

Oh, I’ve learned to let go, though it tears me apart,

Freedom’s the anchor that breaks my heart.

No matter how I try, they drift with the wind,

Leaving me hollow, a story unwritten.

Is it me, or is it fate’s cruel design,

That love always leaves me behind?

Verse 2

I’ve begged, I’ve pleaded, I’ve stood in the storm,

But hearts are wild, they don’t conform.

I’ve given my all, I’ve taken a step back,

Still, they’ve vanished down that endless track.

Pre-Chorus

Every attempt to keep them near,

Leaves me alone with my deepest fear.

No rhythm, no rhyme can make them stay,

Like the fleeting sun at the end of the day.

Chorus

Oh, I’ve learned to let go, though it tears me apart,

Freedom’s the anchor that breaks my heart.

No matter how I try, they drift with the wind,

Leaving me hollow, a story unwritten.

Is it me, or is it fate’s cruel design,

That love always leaves me behind?

Bridge

Maybe I’m cursed, or maybe it’s grace,

To watch them go, to give them space.

But every goodbye carves deeper lines,

A map of loss, a heart resigned.

Outro

So here I stand, a lighthouse in the mist,

Guiding ships that I’ll never kiss.

I’ll let them go, though it breaks my core,

Because love’s not love when it’s chained to the shore.
