Fading light in my mind

Feelings start to decline

I'm just your friend not your man and this plane never lands so I know that you can't be mine

And you know I tried

But the timing just wasn't right

And now the story won't bend so this road never ends and all I see is this fading light

Yeah this fading light burning fast

Tried to move on but just stuck in the past

Heart on my sleeve but you never did ask

Now I just watch as you slip through the cracks

Took my shot but I aimed to low

Now you're with him gotta let that shit go

Wish I could change what I ain't even show

But you're just a dream that I'll never know

I tried to reach out but I fell out of line

Now I'm trapped in this silence you ain't ever gon' find

The feelings I hid were the ones I designed

And now I'm left with this fading light oh

I tried to tell you, but I lost my way

Kept it inside, now there's hell to pay

Thought I could wait, but you couldn't stay

Now I'm just left with the words I pray

You say we're close, but it's not the same

He holds your heart while I hide the pain

Play my part in this losing game

Knowing I'll never be in your frame

I know it's wrong, but I still believe

That in some way, you could care for me

I'll fade away, won't put up a fight

Guess I'll just wait for this fading light yeah

This fading light burning fast

Tried to move on but just stuck in the past

Heart on my sleeve but you never did ask

Now I just watch as you slip through the cracks

Took my shot but I aimed to low

Now your with him gotta let that shit go

Wish I could change what I ain't even show

But you're just a dream that I'll never know

I tried to reach out but I fell out of line

Now I'm trapped in this silence you ain't ever gon' find

The feelings I hid were the ones I designed

And now I'm left with this fading light

I used to dream, now the colors fade

Used to hold on, now I slip away

Every "what if" just turns to gray

Guess I'm drifting, but I'm losing my way

I gave it all, but you never saw

Tried to step up, but I hit the wall

Thought I was strong, but I started to fall

Now I'm just stuck, with no one to call

No more hope, no more wasted time

Letting go what was never mine

Once was fire, now don't ignite

Only embers in this fading light

I was always in the background, waiting for the sign

But now I see it clearer, we were never meant to align

You moved on with him, while I stayed behind

Fading away, caught in the back of my mind

Yeah this fading light burning fast

Tried to move on but just stuck in the past

Heart on my sleeve but you never did ask

Now I just watch as you slip through the cracks

Took my shot but I aimed to low

Now your with him gotta let that shit go

Wish I could change what I ain't even show

But you're just a dream that I'll never know

I tried to reach out but I fell out of line

Now I'm trapped in this silence you ain't ever gon' find

The feelings I hid were the ones I designed

And now I'm left with this fading light oh
