Faded Splendor (feat. Donovan Woods)

All the empires that came to an end
All the church bells that won't ring again
All the ruins still get visited
For their faded splendor
All the pictures face-down in a drawer
All the words that we don't say no more
All the things you used to love me for
I remember

Something that beautiful
Never goes away

It's all faded
Splendor
All wasted
Time
Started building a foundation
That would hold us for the rest of our lives
Yeah, we tried
A shining city in the distance
Only we know it existed
Could have been the greatest love of my whole life
Now it's all faded
Splendor
You and I
You and I
You and I

Every sunset we've ever seen
Never lasted long enough for me
I wanna feel the warmth a little more
I wanna show up some night at your door
I wanna talk about the way it was
And what about us wasn't good enough?

It's all faded
Splendor
All wasted
Time
Started building a foundation
That would hold us for the rest of our lives
Yeah, we tried
A shining city in the distance
Only we know it existed
Could have been the greatest love of my whole life
Now it's all faded
Splendor
You and I
You and I
You and I

Something that beautiful
Never goes away
Something that beautiful
Never goes away

It's all faded
Splendor
On wasted
Time
Started building a foundation
That would hold us for the rest of our lives
Yeah, we tried
A shiny city in the distance
Only we know it existed
Could have been the greatest love of my whole life
Now it's all faded
Splendor
You and I
You and I
You and I
