Faded

She will be the end of you

And yet you love her all the same

It was so hard to let her go

To go through that again

In the dark you can feel it rise

There’s no one there so you’re not surprised

You start to think that you should never have sent her away

In your memories she’s always kind

But a thought gnaws at the back of your mind

That twilight comes at the end of the day

Why are you scared to hear her say

She’s coming back today

And as a star begins to rise

Another one leaves the sky

Why are you scared to become grey

You know it has to be this way

And as a star begins to shine

Another one slowly dies
