Fade Away

*[Verse 1

You don’t say much these days,

Your eyes look past me like I’m in the way.

We used to dance in the firelight,

Now we’re just strangers losing the fight.

*[Pre-Chorus

Every word feels heavy, every touch feels cold,

I’m holding on to pieces of a story untold.

But I can see it slipping, fading into gray—

You’re not leaving all at once, you’re fading away.

*[Chorus

Don’t fade away, don’t leave me here alone,

Don’t let the silence be all I’ve ever known.

I can take the truth, even if it breaks—

But don’t fade away, don’t let love decay.

*[Verse 2

Your laughter’s an echo I can barely hear,

The ghost of a promise is all that’s near.

I’m reaching for something that’s slipping through,

Are you still here, or are we just through?

*[Pre-Chorus

Every smile feels distant, every kiss feels forced,

We’re running in circles, heading off course.

If you’re gonna leave me, don’t make me stay—

Don’t fade away, don’t drift away.

*[Chorus

Don’t fade away, don’t leave me here alone,

Don’t let the silence be all I’ve ever known.

I can take the truth, even if it breaks—

But don’t fade away, don’t let love decay.

*[Bridge

It’s not the thunder that tears me apart,

It’s the quiet unraveling of your heart.

If you’ve let go, just say the words,

Don’t make me live with the pain unheard.

*[Chorus

Don’t fade away, don’t leave me here alone,

Don’t let the silence be all I’ve ever known.

I can take the truth, even if it breaks—

But don’t fade away, don’t let love decay.

*[Outro

If you’re gonna go, let it all fall down,

Don’t leave me lost in this shadowed ground.

Say goodbye, don’t make me stay—

Don’t fade away, don’t fade away.
