Fade Away

Fade to black

Fade Away

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
The memories are all the same,
You never seem to care
About what I'm going through.

Will you ever change?
I don't want to stay the same,
Trapped within your deceit
I cannot run or hide.
I need to get away.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
I seem to lose myself
Whenever you are near,
I never meant to fade.

Every time you are near
A piece of me disappears
To a place where all is lost.
Darkness descends upon me
Swallowing my life.

The world seems so empty,
I just can't seem to smile
Laughter feels so hollow.
I'm drowning in this sorrow,
I feel so incomplete.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
The memories are all the same,
You never seem to care
About what I'm going through.

Will you ever change?
I don't want to stay the same,
Trapped within your deceit
I cannot run or hide.
I need to run away.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
I seen to lose myself
Whenever you are near
But, I never meant to fade.

Every time you stand
I seem to fall.
Whenever you walk away,
I'm left lying on the floor
Battered and bruised again.

The world is full of gloom
I battle constantly with myself
My soul slowly dies.
Lies are what you tell me
I despise the fact you control me.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
The memories are all the same,
You never seem to care
About what I'm going through.

Will you ever change?
I don't want to stay the same,
Trapped within your deceit
I cannot run or hide.
I need to run away.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
I seen to lose myself
Whenever you are near
But, I never meant to fade.

Every time you apologise
A piece of me seems to die
You don't mean what you say.
I sink deeper into darkness
My life slips further away.

My world is disappearing
I'm making it anew,
Maybe now I can smile.
I watch you twist and turn in pain
Now that I'm walking away.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
The memories are all the same,
You never seem to care
About what I'm going through.

Will you ever change?
I don't want to stay the same,
Trapped within your deceit
I cannot run or hide.
I need to run away.

I try to breathe
Suffocating in your lies
I seen to lose myself
Whenever you are near
But, I never meant to fade.

But I never meant to fade
Never meant to fade away.

I try to breathe....
