I found your letter in an old dusty drawer,
Said you’d love me forever, but that was before.
The pages turned yellow, your words still shine,
Like the roses I gave you that faded with time.
I still pour the wine like we used to do,
Sit by the fire thinking about you.
But the flames feel cold now, the glasses run dry,
And I’m just a man who can’t stop asking why.
Chorus
Faded roses and wine, they’re all that I’ve got,
A love that is gone, but I can’t forget the spot.
I’m still lost in the past, still calling your name,
But the roses have withered,
And the wine’s not the same.
Verse 2
I walk through the garden, it don’t smell like you,
Petals have fallen, the sky’s turning blue.
I still hear your laughter late night in the wind,
But it’s just a memory wearing thin.
I used to believe in forever somehow,
In hearts that don’t break, in always and now.
But love’s like a river, it flows with a sigh,
You don’t get to stop it, no matter how hard you try.
Chorus
Faded roses and wine, they haunt my mind,
A love that was true, but left me behind.
Now all that remains is the taste of your kiss,
The roses are gone…
And I’m drowning in this.
Outro
So I drink to the past, I toast to the fall,
To a love that was real—I just couldn’t stand tall.
Faded roses…
Faded roses and wine.
