Fade Away

Lyrics

Watch me fade tonight
In this cold light
Your eyes so bright
As I say goodbye

[Verse 1]
Looking back at me
What do you see?
Skin so pale and thin
Where should we begin?
Time keeps moving slow
As the blood flows
Through these open veins
Washing away pain
Can't take anymore
Of this endless war
Between you and I
Time to say goodbye

[Pre-chorus]
Every mark upon my skin tells a tale
Of battles fought within that made me fail
Looking in your eyes, I see the truth
No more need to hide behind my youth

[Chorus]
Each scar tells a story that ends tonight
(That ends tonight)
Each breath brings the morning's final light
(Final light)
Oh-oh-oh, let me go
La-la-la, sink below

[Post-chorus]
Watch me drift away
Into endless grey
No need to pretend
This is how it ends

[Verse 2]
Cherry petals fall
Against the wall
Red on white like paint
Making patterns faint
Every drop of red
Things left unsaid
Silent as the snow
Time to let go

[Pre-chorus]
Carved into flesh, these memories remain
Each line a chapter of unspoken pain
Standing here now, I finally see
The reflection of who I used to be

[Chorus]
Each scar tells a story that ends tonight
(That ends tonight)
Each breath brings the morning's final light
(Final light)
Oh-oh-oh, let me go
La-la-la, sink below

[Bridge]
In this quiet room
Where flowers bloom
Red petals scattered wide
As I step aside
From all I've known
Now I'm alone

[Breakdown]
Let! Me! Go!
These scars won't show!
The pain below!
It's time to go!

[Final Chorus]
Each scar tells a story that ends tonight
(That ends tonight)
Each breath brings the morning's final light
(Final light)
Oh-oh-oh, let me go
La-la-la, sink below
(Let me sink, let me go)
(This is how it ends, don't you know)
