Fading Away
Just as words fade away
While I'm singing you to sleep
I will too
And not because I'm scared
(It's just because I have to)
I'm not frightened of commitment
Just stuck in this predicament
Forgive me for sounding hurried
It would take too long
To come out as I intend
But we can still stay friends
I promise
I'll leave you with our favorite melody
To make up for this memory
It was never supposed to end like this
Saying 'goodbye' is one thing I won't miss
So "shoot for the stars"
And I'll blow you one last kiss
Just as the sun sets
Scarlet red in the west
So will I
It's not because I want to
(We both know I tried)
So wrapped up in obligations
This was never a fair situation
To either party
So I'm sorry, for sounding harsh
It would be all in vain
To try and tell you why I had to leave
I don't think I could explain
From here you look so beautiful
So still, so silent and so full
Of color, there will never be another
Quite like you
And to leave you sleeping
Is about the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Just picture me (fading away)
Like the sun moving behind the clouds
When it starts to rain
Just picture me...
Fading away, fading away, fading away...
