Slow Fade
Unraveling Love's Slow Fade
Lyrics
Oh look at us taking it all back
Reflecting on reclaiming something important.
We're stuck in a rut, fell in way too fast
Feeling stuck in a routine, entered a relationship hastily.
Your minds made up and none of this seems fair
Acknowledging a decision has been made, questioning its fairness.
Tell me you've had enough and I'll pretend I don't care
Offering to end things if the partner desires, feigning indifference.
I can't help but stare at those city street lights
Fascination with city lights, likely tied to shared memories.
They illuminate that bench where your fingers met mine
Recalling a significant moment on a bench where hands touched.
And deep down somewhere those memories take a hold of me
Emotionally impacted by memories that still have a grip.
I know that I still care, I know that I still care
Acknowledging lingering feelings despite efforts to suppress.
Every inch at night became a mile between us
Distance grew at night, metaphorically creating a divide.
Every word we left unsaid was a scream for help
Unspoken words carried deep emotional weight.
And I can see it so clearly now
Realization of the gradual deterioration of the relationship.
It was a slow fade, slow fade
Describing the breakup as a slow, gradual process.
I don't think too much, it's better that way
Choosing not to overthink for emotional well-being.
Can't deal with the thought, there was something I could change
Difficulty accepting inability to change the past.
If only I knew then, what I know now
Regret for not having knowledge that could have altered outcomes.
I know that I would have changed
Expressing a desire for change if given the chance.
Every inch at night became a mile between us
Reiterating the metaphor of growing distance in the night.
Every word we left unsaid was a scream for help
Highlighting the weight of unspoken words as cries for help.
And I can see it so clearly now
Reaffirming the clarity gained about the gradual separation.
It was a slow fade, slow fade
Repeating the description of the breakup as a slow fade.
Every inch at night became a mile between us
Reiterating the metaphorical distance growing at night.
Every word we left unsaid was a scream for help
Emphasizing the impactful nature of unspoken words.
And I can see it so clearly now
Reaffirming the gained clarity about the gradual separation.
It was a slow fade, slow fade
Concluding with the repetition of describing the breakup as a slow fade.
