AIf-I - Why Fade Away Lyrics

I've been running, chasing lights
Through the shadows of endless nights
Gripping tight to what I know
Afraid to let it go
The world keeps changing, I stand still
Holding on against my will
But sometimes fading, slipping through
Is the only thing left to do
Why do we fade away, disappear in the gray
What we hold so close starts to slip away
In the silent drift, in the loss and fray
We learn sometimes, it's okay to fade
Every moment has its time
Every rhythm its own rhyme
Though we try to make it last
All things must become the past
We cling so tightly, scared to fall
But echoes answer every call
And in their whisper, low and deep
They sing of peace, a gentle release
Why do we fade away, disappear in the gray
What we hold so close starts to slip away
In the silent drift, in the loss and fray
We learn sometimes, it's okay to fade
Maybe fading isn't gone
Maybe it's the light of dawn
The quiet place we finally find
Where we leave what's heavy behind
Why do we fade away, disappear in the gray
What we hold so close starts to slip away
In the silent drift, in the loss and fray
We learn sometimes, it's okay to fade
So here we go, just as we came
Through fire, light, and gentle rain
In every end, a brand new way
Maybe we're meant to fade
