Faded are the stars in one's dreams
The spark that holds the heart
That once filled your presence in my life
Faded are your memories of pains that cut
deep within your soul
Death of a loved one that kills you of the agony
Of the loss with time they say the pain will fade
But to me, it feels the same
Faded is your presence that once gave me sweet delight
That once filled your fragrance in my life
Faded is your voice the words that wasn't nice
The hateful games you played on me
Faded off the pain no way it stayed with me
Faded is the love we once held
That once was filled with trust and so much love
Dreams that all crashed down on me when you
cheated on me and made a baby
Faded are your footsteps
That once I longed to hear walking in our bed you
Faded are your footprints that I am now glad not to hear
I longed to keep my steps on your footprints made on sand
But today shores washed them away
Life too will become faded as we age
My beauty will fad so will yours
But one thing that will never fad that will be my heart.

My braided faded bracelet
Is hidden in a box
Always there to remind me
Of something that I lost

My braided faded bracelet
The colors now so light
I found they weren't long lasting
Just like my feelings that blurry night

My braided faded bracelet
Came from a man
That I barely knew
But that might've been the plan

My braided faded bracelet
From that man, he knew
That I wasn't ready
Even though I wanted to

My braided faded bracelet
What it means they'll never know
Because I know what they will say
They'll say I told you so

My braided faded bracelet
A sign I'm one with the rest
Heard your first is never good but I
Thought I'd be different
