The love that faded away

Lyrics

We used to talk like time had no end
Every word from you felt like home again
Now I'm staring at a screen that stays cold
Wondering where did your warmth go
You were close, then you slipped away
Like a song I hear but you won't play
I reach for you, but you don't respond
Like I'm still here but you're already gone
And I don't know what I did wrong
Or if your heart was never that strong
But silence speaks louder every night
And I'm losing you without a fight
Where did the "I love you" go?
It used to feel like we both know
Now I'm holding words you don't say anymore
Standing alone at a closing door
If love is real, why does it hurt this way?
Why do you leave but never stay?
I'm still here, but you're not the same
And I'm the only one calling your name
I remember when you cared so easy
Now your replies just feel so empty
You say "I'm fine," but I feel the distance
Like your heart built a new resistance
I tried to hold on a little more
But the more I try, the more you ignore
Now I'm learning love can fade in silence
No goodbye, just slow violence
And I keep asking myself at night
Should I stay or let go this fight?
But loving you feels like letting me drown
While you don't even turn around
Where did the "I love you" go?
It used to feel like we both know
Now I'm holding words you don't say anymore
Standing alone at a closing door
If love is real, why does it hurt this way?
Why do you leave but never stay?
I'm still here, but you're not the same
And I'm the only one calling your name
Maybe love isn't meant to chase
Maybe I'm just losing grace
I can't keep bleeding for a "maybe you'll stay"
While you slowly drift away
So I'll love you from a distance now
Even if it breaks me down somehow
Because loving you shouldn't feel like war
And I can't do this anymore
Where did the "I love you" go?
I think I already know
Some things end without a sound
And I'm learning to let you down
If love was real, it still won't stay
Not every heart knows the way
I'm still here, but I'll be gone in time
Taking back what used to be mine
And maybe one day I'll be okay
With the love that faded away
