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
