Experience the bittersweet journey of letting go of a first love that's been a constant push and pull. 'Fading Echoes' by Laufey dives deep into the complexities of a long-distance relationship that never truly took off, despite a strong emotional bond. This soulful tune captures the ache, hope, and the lingering question of 'what if?' that many can relate to when faced with a love that could never be fully realized.
Verse 1
We'd laugh and we'd cry, late into the night
Sharing dreams as if, distance was a lie
But when I asked you to stay, you looked away
Said it was too hard to label, with miles in our way
Chorus
Fading echoes of a love that never was
Haunting me with whispers, of what could've been us
The perfect symphony, that played out of tune
I'll let you go, while holding hope’s sweet, faint tune
Verse 2
We danced around the flame, in a game of give and take
Built castles in the air, of moments we could make
But reality drew lines, we couldn't paint away
Caught in a push and pull, of hearts led astray
Chorus
Fading echoes of a love that never was
Haunting me with whispers, of what could've been us
The perfect symphony, that played out of tune
I'll let you go, while holding hope’s sweet, faint tune
Bridge
Maybe someday, in another time and place
We'll find a way to bridge, this endless space
But for now, I'll cherish what we couldn't see
Holding on to the chance, you'll come back to me
Chorus
Fading echoes of a love that never was
Haunting me with whispers, of what could've been us
The perfect symphony, that played out of tune
I'll let you go, while holding hope’s sweet, faint tune
Outro
I'll let you go, though your echo lingers near
In the silence of my heart, you'll always be here
A love that never was, yet never truly gone
In the fading echoes, our melody lives on

letting go of your first love who you keep going back to, who, although you weren't in a relationship, still acted like you were in one. this was a long distance relationship, you also still want to hold on to that mild chance that, maybe in the future, it may work out. hoping maybe the other person feels the same. this was a push and pull "relationship" that when you were about to make official, realized the other person didnt want to commit to a long distance relationship. everything between both of you was perfect, until you wanted to put a label on it
