【verse 1】
i watched the light go dim last night
the one you’d leave on out of spite
a tiny glow behind the door
is gone, like you, forevermore
i walk the hall but it feels tight
like time collapsed and stole the night
your slippers still beside the wall
but no one’s walked this way at all
【chorus】
fading hallway light
i'm chasing what won’t stay
your shadow moved ahead
but the warmth has slipped away
i stand here in the dark
where memories used to bite
and all that's left to guide me
is that fading hallway light
【verse 2】
the bulb hums low like breathless fear
it flickers when you feel too near
i reach to switch it off again
but ghosts don’t care where light has been
the carpet holds your quiet weight
your name still echoes through the grate
but nothing real comes when i call
just echoes stretching down the hall
【chorus】
fading hallway light
i'm chasing what won’t stay
your shadow moved ahead
but the warmth has slipped away
i stand here in the dark
where memories used to bite
and all that's left to guide me
is that fading hallway light
【outro】
that fading light...
that fading you...
