Lyric

Your face is softer in my mind

Edges blur with passing time

I don’t recall the sound you made

Just how it felt when you stayed

I stopped reliving every scene

But something lingers in between

Fading, not gone

Holding on

Fading, not gone, you remain

Like a quiet, distant name

I don’t ache the way before

Still I feel you at the core

You don’t pull me, don’t insist

Just a shadow I don’t miss

Fading, not gone, moving slow

Like a tide I almost know

The days go by, they fill with sound

New routines, familiar ground

I don’t look back, I don’t rewind

But you still pass me in my mind

I learned to live without the pain

But not without the faint refrain

Fading, not gone

Still holding on

Fading, not gone, soft and thin

Like breath beneath the skin

You’re not love, not what you were

Just a trace I still prefer

I don’t chase you, don’t deny

What survives doesn’t ask why

Fading, not gone, not erased

Just time changing shape

The nights are calm, my heart is too

It doesn’t race the way it used to

But sometimes when the silence grows

I hear you where the echo goes

Not loud enough to pull me back

Just strong enough to leave a crack

Fading, not gone

Almost done

Fading, not gone, in my chest

Not a wound, but not at rest

You don’t hurt, you don’t stay

You just visit on some days

If forgetting means erase

Then this isn’t that kind of place

Fading, not gone, holding space

For what time can’t replace

Maybe one day you’ll dissolve

Into something undefined

Not a loss, not a regret

Just a part of who I met

I won’t force what wants to fade

I’ll let it leave the way it stays

Fading, not gone

Letting run

Fading, not gone, I accept

What remains is what’s been kept

You’re not mine, not meant to be

Just a quiet memory

If love weakens, doesn’t die

Learns to live a different life

Fading, not gone, moving on

But never fully gone
