Why'd you have to fade so soon?

Why’d you smile so sweetly when your tears were heavy?
And why’d you sing to me when your words were empty?
Was it for me?

You were fading, slipping through the cracks of my heart,
Desperately trying to hold on,
And now you’re gone, You were young, I was foolish,
Now I’m dreaming of a world you can never enter,
But I’ll sing my dreams to your grave,

Why’d you whisper to me when I needed to feel your energy?
Why’d you leave so soon? The doctor said a few more days.

You were fading, slipping through the cracks of my heart,
Desperately trying to hold on,
And now you’re gone, You were young, I was foolish,
Now I’m dreaming of a world you can never enter,
But I’ll sing my dreams to your grave,

I know you’ll listen, sit awhile,
I miss you, but I know you’re sat here right beside me,
Lend me your heart for awhile, I miss you,
Hold my heart in your hands one last time,

You were fading, I was slipping through the cracks in your heart,
Desperately trying to hold on,
And now you’re gone, You were young, I was foolish,
Now I’m dreaming of a world you can never enter,
But I’ll sing my dreams to your grave.
