Fading Away

 

All of the faces that I knew so well
Fading like the light at the end of day
Haven’t seen anybody for oh so long
It’s like they never mattered anyway

It kind of makes me wonder where I went so wrong
I must have done something to deserve this fate
I don’t remember treating anyone as bad as this
It feels to me a lot like hate

I wander round my empty rooms
An empty feeling beating in my broken heart
I feel a fool to feel so bad
The way it ends was written at the very start

And so it goes
Sometimes I feel so sad
And so it is
An empty man feeling so goddamned bad

Everything I thought I knew has changed this day
Everyone I thought I knew has run away
Everything that I believed is false and wrong
I wonder how it came to be this lonely way

All of the people I knew have gone their separate ways
Fading away like the smoke from my cigarette
I guess I’ll never see them anymore
I guess I’m done but I’m not finished yet

And so it is
I can find someone new
And so it goes
And watch them walk away too
