(Verse 1) 
 
It ended on the third time, 
I was all alone. 
And nothing could ever take me home. 
Loving like that is never, 
Forgotten, unknown. 
Echoes of him still shatter like a glass dome, 
And I’ll remember it, 
Even though he’s gone. 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
And I know it’s no use, 
To relive another time like that. 
And when he whispered goodbye, 
My skyscraper fell flat. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I know I’m single now, 
Although he’s still inside my mind. 
I can still hear his footsteps, 
Creeping from behind. 
I get scared, 
Wear and tear, 
But it’s innocence, 
Faded limelight. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Taking selfies in my bedroom, 
Making out on the bed. 
You bought me roses when I felt down, 
Now my roses are dead. 
I could never forget that night when you said, 
I’m so incredible, 
Our true hearts were red. 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
And I can’t let you go, 
You’re tattooed on my skin. 
You’re inside my radio, 
You still reside in my mind’s den. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
You’re running way too fast, 
I can’t catch up with you. 
I’m wishing it did last, 
I mean, what did I do? 
Love is rare, 
Hard to bear, 
But it’s innocence, 
Faded limelight. 
 
(Bridge) 
 
Maybe we just needed a vacation, 
Maybe our thoughts were too rushed. 
Or maybe you just didn’t feel the spark, 
I felt when we touched. 
Crying scared, 
Here and there, 
But it’s innocence, 
Faded limelight. 
 
Hey, you break my heart again, 
This time faster and faster, 
Couldn’t believe all the men I have mastered, 
After that, 
But they’ll never be the same as you, 
Because it’s innocence, 
Faded, faded, 
Faded limelight.
