time fades every colour
steals the warmth from my face
every song loses its meaning
when heard too often
i'm weary, worn to bone
pale and tired with all i've lived
and all i'm yet to live through
it breaks my heart to think
that one day, everything crumbles
leaves dry and die
and trees fall too quietly
my tears dry, too, and my laugh
echoes into memories
everyone i meet will become the same
nobody is to blame
it's just how things go, you know?
we all move on someday
every colour fades
every leaf dies, and another
grows in its place
and an empty space
won't stay empty forever
