Don’t Let It Fade Lyrics
Trace around her lips with his fingers, he tries to draw on a smile,
“Give it time. These scars are the stars that will show you the light.”
And now she’s all he sees; he stays awake to watch her breathe the unheard
melodies; the grace notes of her restless sleep.
Hold me now, don’t let it fade away from here. It’s so clear…
His tattered undershirt—a souvenir that she likes to breathe in.
She sighs—days doing nothing unconscious of time.
And now he’s all she sees; she stays awake to watch him breathe the unknown
poetry; sweet sonnets of how it should be.
And everybody might just have these same ideas--
these same plans--I suppose…
We’ve found a perfect niche: where plastic meets perfect, kill substance for
style…
But inside, we get burned by the fuel that we cannot deny.
“Give it time. These scars are the stars that will show you the light.”

this is such a beautiful song
delicious music...sweet lyrics...how many times have I stayed awake to see my baby breathe...but now,she's gone...
Seriously, this song never fails to bring a tear to my eye. All the simple things mean so much more.
This song...I love it! It's such a good song! Only four(Well, five with me) people know about this song here?!?! I love the lyrics to this song, I agree with ChaosFluro24-it is like that! Man, go check it out! It's worth it!
This song makes me want to fall in love again.
really sad song to me. terribly underrated band, probably one of my favorite bands of all time.
This is truly an amazing song. Can be as happy or sad as you want but either way it's beautiful. Such a great melody too. Sounds like something The Beatles or Elliot Smith would write.
