Faded

(album: New Skin - 2019)

Nights, I don't sleep
Listen for the floor to creak
Wait for a hand on my cheek
But comfort doesn't come for me

Mornings, I eat
The same damn thing, counting the times
Criticise your speech
But you can say the right things

So I tie my hair back and catch my blessings
I learn some lessons and count to ten
Coming back again
To feel you closer
Are we closer yet?

You've got the same face I once loved
But I don't recognize your touch
Just like we faded

You've got that same face I loved
I can barely see it through your blank stare
How I want to know if you still mean it
It's not the same way it was
And I cannot believe it
It's like we faded

It's like we fade
Like we fade
Like we faded, it
It's like we fade
Like we fade
Like we faded, it

Days, I spend
Looking for the life you left
Apologize for acting mean
I'm running through the same routine
Like it's inevitable to get more frustrated
Days passing days, days passing days

So I tie my hair back and catch my blessings
I learn some lessons and count to ten
Coming back again
To feel you closer
Are we closer yet?

You've the same face I would kiss
But I don't recognize the shift
It's like we faded

You've got that same face I loved
I can barely see it through your blank stare
How I want to know if you still mean it
It's not the same way it was
And I cannot believe it
It's like we faded

So let me lie down so you'll know
I'm not afraid of getting close
It's like we faded

Let me lie down so you'll know
I'm not afraid of getting close
Get a little closer

It's like we fade
Like we fade
Like we faded, it
It's like we fade
Like we fade
Like we faded, it
