Le'Amaj Speakz

Late nights, are you sleepless too? Wide awake in the starless blue Staring up at the ceiling Do you feel what I'm feeling Little fights at the weekend do You love me better when I'm not with you We were built like concrete I used to know your heartbeat

The light has disappeared The dust has settled here But still I want you nearSo I been waiting for that slow fade (Ooh-hoo-hoo) (Ooh-hoo-hoo) Kinda hoping that you won't stay (Ooh-hoo-hoo) (Ooh-hoo-hoo) There's no color in us lately And it's too hard to say I been praying that we'll lose our love in slow fade

Crazy how it was me and you From the start of the sun and moon Held each other through it We were young and foolish Now we're dancing like we're done We found the end of the moon and sun Was it always like this? Cause now it's always like this

The light has disappeared The dust has settled here But still I want you near, ohSo I been waiting for that slow fade (Ooh-hoo-hoo) (Ooh-hoo-hoo) Kinda hoping that you won't stay (Ooh-hoo-hoo) (Ooh-hoo-hoo) There's no color in us lately And it's too hard to say I been praying that we'll lose our love in slow fade

Maybe I'll find you again, maybe I won't I think for now that it's best if we let it go I hope you get all you want out of this life Even if it's not with me by your side
