Faded Letters Lyrics

I look through photographs and faded letters from you
An empty shoebox on my bed
Lingering thoughts of what you said
Falling away from me

They say that where I’ve been is not who I am
And where I am does not define where I’m going
Someday I’ll find this place

I’ve dreamed up things that I just can’t let go
(dreamed up things I can’t let go)
(Conform in me your perfect will)

And sometimes I hide, but you always find me
And sometimes I run, but you’re always beside me
I feel you beside me, never behind me
I feel you beside me today

This is my prayer,
Lord that I’ll find your will
My ife is in your hands
Draw your plans
Use my hands

I’ve dreamed up things that I just can’t let go
Don’t let me be this way
No
I don’t want things my way
My delight is in you, my Holy Lord
Conform me to your will
Lord, do with me what you will

All these photographs and faded letters from you
An empty shoebox on my bed
Lingering thoughts of what you said
Show me a better me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Woot! Awesome song... The background beat almost sounds like something off of Emery's THE WEAK'S END. Wonder why they didn't put this on FREE TO CONQUER. I'm kinda dissapointed with it. The EP was so much better for some reason... :S Sounds like he's mourning over a lost girlfriend. He's surrenduring the problem to God and asking His will to be done. The last line makes it sound like he's glad this all happened because, in the end, he came out stronger from the trial.
