I'm Slowly Forgetting Your Face

Verse 1

I used to see you when I closed my eyes

Every curve, every line, no surprise

The way your laughter moved your lips

The tiny scar on your fingertips

I knew the map of you by heart

But now the edges are falling apart

Verse 2

I try to hold on to the way you looked at me

But it’s like a photograph lost in the sea

The color of your eyes is turning gray

Like a morning mist that’s drifting away

I’m reaching out to touch a ghost

Losing the thing that I loved the most

Chorus

And bit by bit, you’re fading out of focus

I’m losing you and I didn’t even notice

The shape of your nose, the light in your hair

I’m looking for you, but you’re not there

It’s a quiet kind of heartbreak, a silent goodbye

Watching your face vanish from my mind’s eye

Yeah, I’m forgetting the one I said I’d never leave behind

Verse 3

I saw a stranger in the street today

For a second, I thought you were walking my way

But then I realized I couldn't be sure

Because I don't remember your smile anymore

Not the real one, not the way it felt

Before the memories began to melt

Verse 4

I’m scared of the day when I’ll wake up alone

And your face is a shadow I’ve never known

I’m fighting a war against my own brain

Trying to keep the joy and the pain

But time is a thief with a steady hand

Washing your footprints off the sand

Verse 5

I look at the walls where your pictures hung

The songs of our youth that we always sung

But the melody's thin and the lyrics are frayed

Like a debt of the soul that can never be paid

I can't recall how you tilted your head

When you laughed at the foolish things that I said

Verse 6

Is it a mercy or is it a curse?

To forget the best and remember the worst

Or to lose it all in a hollow white space

Where I can’t even find the ghost of your grace

I’m tracing the air where you used to stand

Sifting through hours like grains of sand

Bridge

I’ve got the pictures, I’ve got the frames

But they’re just paper with different names

They don’t show the way you breathed in your sleep

Or the secrets that you promised to keep

The soul is gone, and the image is blurred

And "I love you" is just a ghost of a word

Verse 7

The world keeps turning and life moves on

But I’m stuck in a house where the light is gone

Trying to sketch what I used to know

But the pencil is lead and the rhythm is slow

Your jawline is gone, your eyebrows are dim

I’m drowning in thoughts but I don't know how to swim

Chorus

And bit by bit, you’re fading out of focus

I’m losing you and I didn’t even notice

The shape of your nose, the light in your hair

I’m looking for you, but you’re not there

It’s a quiet kind of heartbreak, a silent goodbye

Watching your face vanish from my mind’s eye

Yeah, I’m forgetting the one I said I’d never leave behind

Outro

Just a blur...

Just a trace...

I’m sorry...

I’m losing your face

I can't see you anymore
