Faded Memory

[Verse] Saw your picture on the mantel, memories start to flood You were holding my heart, but now you're gone for good The love we had, it's faded like this photograph (ooh-yeah) I miss the way we used to be, but now it's in the past [Verse 2] I see the smiles we shared, the laughter in your eyes But now it's just an empty frame, a love that slowly dies I try to hold on to the moments that we had But all that's left is this faded memory, it's driving me mad [Chorus] Oh, this faded photo on the mantel, a painful reminder of what used to be I can't help but wonder if you ever think of me Oh, this faded memory, it's tearing me apart I wish I could turn back time, to that photo on the mantel, where we were one (ooh-yeah) [Verse 3] I trace the lines upon your face, the warmth I used to feel But now it's just a cold embrace, a wound that won't heal I search for solace in these fragments of the past But they only serve to remind me that our love couldn't last [Bridge] And as I gaze upon this photo, worn and weathered with time I wonder if you ever think of me, if you hear my silent cries I'll keep this picture on the mantel, a bittersweet display Of a love that once consumed us, now slowly fades away [Verse 4] Though time may pass, and seasons change, this photo remains A testament to the love we shared, despite its strains I'll keep it close, within my heart, a beacon in the dark A reminder of the beauty we had, before we fell apart [Chorus] Oh, this faded photo on the mantel, a painful reminder of what used to be I can't help but wonder if you ever think of me Oh, this faded memory, it's tearing me apart I wish I could turn back time, to that photo on the mantel, where we were one (ooh-yeah) [Outro] As I place this photo back on the mantel, amidst the dust and decay I'll carry its essence within me, as I go on my way For though our love may have faded, its imprint will forever last In the echoes of our laughter, in the shadows of our past. [Outro] As I place this photo back on the mantel, amidst the dust and decay I'll carry its essence within me, as I go on my way For though our love may have faded, its imprint will forever last In the echoes of our laughter, in the shadows of our past.
