We had a love that shone like gold
Bright and warm, a story told
But time has a way of dimming the light
In the tarnished love we faced tonight
Tarnished love, warm and so bright
Now it's fading into the night
In the scars and the dust we find
Love's not always gentle or kind
We promised forever under stars so grand
But the glow of love turned into sand
The brilliance fades, the luster's gone
In the tarnished love we must move on
Tarnished love, warm and so bright
Now it's fading into the night
In the scars and the dust we find
Love's not always gentle or kind
In the tarnished we find the true hue
That love can be hard and dreams can skew
Through the wind and the tear we see
The real face of love's decree
Tarnished love and reality are the love that's fading
We find strength in the truth we've stated
Tarnished love, a lesson learned
In the hearts we light
We are the light
We are our return
We promise forever under stars so grand
But the glow of love turned into sand
The brilliance fades, the luster's gone
In the tarnished love we must move on
Tarnished love, warm and so bright
Now it's fading into the night
In the scars and the dust we find
Love's not always gentle or kind
We promised forever under stars so grand

In the tarnish we find the true hue that love can be hard
And dreams can skew through the web and the tear we see
The real face of love's decree
Tarnished love and reality of a love that's faded
We find strength in the truth we've stated
Tarnished love, a lesson learned
In the heart's true light, we are returned
As we face the reality of a love that's faded
We find strength in the truth we've stated
Tarnished love, a lesson learned
In the heart's true light, we are returned
In the tarnish we find the true hue that love can be hard
And dreams can skew through the web and the tear we see
The real face of love's decree
In the tarnish we find the true hue that love can be hard
And dreams can skew through the web and the tear we see
The real face of love's decree
Tarnished love, a reality of a love that's faded
We find strength in the truth we've stated
Tarnished love, a lesson learned
In the heart's true light, we are returned
As we face the reality of a love that's faded
We find strength in the truth we've stated
Tarnished love, a lesson learned
In the heart's true light, we are returned
We promised forever and our star's so grand
But the glow of love turned into sand
The brilliance fades
