In a drawer full of memories, I found your faded letters
Words once written in fire, now lost to time's cruel weather
We had dreams of forever, but forever slipped away
And now all I have are promises that couldn't stay

You swore we'd never say goodbye
But promises can fade and die
Now these words on paper can't revive
What's left of the love we couldn't keep alive

Faded letters and broken promises
They tell the story of what love misses
Once we were strong, now we're torn apart
Leaving nothing but a shattered heart
Faded letters and broken promises
Left behind with all our wishes

I remember the way you looked at me, with stars in your eyes
We made a vow, but vows, like hearts, can wear a disguise
I held on to every word you said, like they'd never break
But now those words are whispers in the wind we couldn't take

You said forever by my side
But forever's just a dream that died
Now I'm staring at these lines
Of love we lost between the signs

Faded letters and broken promises
They tell the story of what love misses
Once we were strong, now we're torn apart
Leaving nothing but a shattered heart
Faded letters and broken promises
Left behind with all our wishes

And though the ink has faded slow
The pain is still as fresh as snow
We wrote our love in every line
But some words just can't stand the time

Faded letters, just memories now
Of broken promises that we didn't know how to fix
