Faded Gray

I saw you standing on the sidewalk in your faded gray

I turned and walked the other way

It's too soon to walk past and not touch you

I stand on the outside watching us fade away

Hoping there was something you were going to say

Why did you put me on that shelf?

Why did you turn off the light, leave me in the dark?

I was once your favorite and now just forgotten

Now my heart only rages for what we once were

You left me empty and alone, all I do is roam

You will never silence my voice in your head

It will follow you down to your last breath

You will never forget my touch across your skin

You will never lose the desire of me

Dreams, are all that you are hanging onto, dreams

The wind howls your name and I stand in the cold

Longing for your heart to keep me warm

Ashes float down to cover me from the fire storm

Of your love, I gave all of me to you and you left

I lost my way home leaving me in this dark madness

I saw you standing on the sidewalk in your faded gray

You were haunting, the past, no future to hold

Time strengthens my resolve, walked past and no longer

Needing to touch you, now you are a ghost of my memory

Of a burning craving for your love, a fading ember.

You will never silence my voice in your head

It will follow you down to your last breath

You will never forget my touch across your skin

You will never lose the desire of me

Dreams, are all that you are hanging onto, dreams
