[Intro]
In the night, when the world gets quiet, I still hear your voice, somewhere in the distance.
We were never promised forever, but I never thought you’d fade so soon.
[Verse 1]
You were a light that burned too bright
Gone before the dawn could rise.
We had a way of making time stand still
But now you’re just a shadow, fading with the chill.
The days are long, but the nights feel longer
I hold the pieces, but I don’t feel stronger.
I search the skies, but the stars fall down
Since you left, the silence is the loudest sound.
[Chorus]
But even stars fade,
Even the brightest ones don’t stay.
In the quiet, I can feel you near,
But in the morning, you’re not here.
Gone too soon, like a whisper in the wind,
You left before the story could begin again.
[Verse 2]
We laughed in moments we thought would last,
But the future came and turned to past.
Your memory is like a song that won’t fade,
Playing softly, even through the shade.
Some nights I dream you’re still right here,
I wake up reaching, but you’re nowhere near.
I keep a part of you inside my heart,
Even though the world has torn us apart.
[Chorus]
But even stars fade,
Even the brightest ones don’t stay.
In the quiet, I can feel you near,
But in the morning, you’re not here.
Gone too soon, like a whisper in the wind,
You left before the story could begin again.
[Verse 3]
Every place we touched is now filled with your light,
You’re the voice in the breeze, the stars in the night.
I carry your laughter like a song in my chest,
And in the quiet, I know you’re at rest.
But rest doesn’t mean you’re gone from this place,
I see you in the smiles, I feel you in space.
You left too soon, but you didn’t leave far,
You’re not just a memory, you’re still my star.
[Bridge]
The weight of loss, it never really leaves,
But in the darkness, I find some peace.
You’re the echo in my quiet, the light in my dreams,
I’ll hold you close in the spaces in between.
[Chorus]
Even stars fade,
Even the brightest ones don’t stay.
In the quiet, I can feel you near,
But in the morning, you’re not here.
Gone too soon, like a whisper in the wind,
You left before the story could begin again.
[Outro]
Even stars fade, but your light remains,
In every heartbeat, in every drop of rain.
Though you’re gone, you’re not far,
You’ll always be my fading star.
