[Verse 1]
I'm now the one she left
A haunted tale for someone else
A little bit about herself
Wherever she is sleeping
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
Cause a flame from just one spark
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
She exhales a memory

[Chorus]
The past is fadin' over time
But it's still hangin' on for life

[Verse 1]
I am now her used to be
He is now the one she needs
He is now the one she leans on
As she looks out at the sunset
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
Whiskey kills all things in time
Like things she don't remember

[Chorus]
The past is fadin' over time
But it's still hanging on for life
[Verse 3]
I am now an old headstone
And to her grave I'll die alone
A testament of how she's grown
Wherever she is sleepin'

[Chorus]
The past is fadin' over time
But it's still hanging on for life
