I can't recall your face at all
Only the camera the words the piano’s call
As if through frost a memory stalls
What fades first The shape the line
Or the way you used to tilt your head when you were mine
So this is how we fade apart
First the face then the voice departs
I reached for you with all my might
But something slipped between us in the night
Not a fight, not a fall
Just a silence that took it all
All I keep are things we used to hold
A coffee cup a worn-out book a story left untold
But your face It's gone dissolved in gold
A love that lingers though the image has grown cold
I trace the edges of what used to be
A hand I held a laugh I heard a sky we shared
But the face that held it all? Barely there
So this is how we fade apart
First the face, then the voice departs
I reached for you with all my might
But something slipped between us in the night
Not a fight not a fall
Just a silence that took it all
They say forgetting is the second death
First the body leaves then the memory rests
But I didn’t want to let you go
I just woke up one day, and didn’t know
When the last time was that I saw your face
Not erased just misplaced
Maybe that’s the crueler way
Losing you without the final say
this is how we fade apart
First the face, then the voice departs
I reached for you with all my might
But something slipped between us in the night
Not a fight not a fall
Just a silence that took it all
Your face is gone untold
Only echoes remain and cold
But somewhere in the frost
I still reach for you
Even when I’ve forgotten what I’m reaching to
