You Let Me Fade - ArlenaZara
I stood beside you in the dark
Hoping you still see my face
I gave you every fragile part
Slowly learned to replace
I waited for a sign or word
Something to make me stay
But silence was the loudest hurt
And you chose it every day
I kept reaching for your hand
While you were letting go
You said nothing and I understood
More than you'll ever know
You let me fade while I was fighting to keep your love alive
You watched me lose my color just to keep your world alright
I was breaking right in front of you
But you looked the other way
I didn't leave, I didn't change
You just let me fade
I learned to speak without a sound of cry
Where you couldn't hear
I shrank myself to fit your life
Disappeared year by year
You called it space, you called it time
I called it losing me
I was lonely laying by your side
Begging you to see
I asked for less than I deserved
Still asked too much for you
You held my body, not my heart
And I felt it breaking through
You let me fade while I was fighting to keep your love alive
You watched me lose my color just to keep your world alright
I was breaking right in front of you
But you looked the other way
I didn't leave, I didn't change
You just let me fade
I shouldn't feel like slowly dying
Or proving that you're enough
I mistook your indifference
For a love that was just rough
If I'd known silence was your choice
I wouldn't have stayed so long
I lost my voice trying to be strong
For someone already gone
I loved you loudly in my heart
You loved me when it was easy
I was there through every scar
You were already leaving
You let me fade but now I see the fading wasn't my fault
I begged you to fight for me
You chose to let me fall
I won't disappear to be loved
I won't beg you to stay
I didn't lose you, you lost me
The moment you let me fade
I was never ever invisible
You just stopped looking my way
I didn't fade because I was weak
You let me fade
And I walked away
And I walked away
I walked away
