Fade Away

I can’t do this any longer
That’s what he said before he went away
If we keep this going on
Sooner or later, this will blow up in our face
And I know we’re the problem
But we can always place the blame on fate
And I know we weren’t perfect
But darling know you were my best mistake
Oh and I’ll tell you something
But I guess there’s nothing to say
Oh and if there was
Would it even matter anyway?
'Cause when the mountains crumble
When the stars fall out the sky
When the oceans are rising
And I can’t run from the tide
Maybe then I’ll realise
That I’m a sucker for you
And I’m not angry, just bereft
And it’s the same thing tomorrow
Just a new pack of cigarettes
'Cause you’re not coming back
So I’ll hold on to what is left
And try not to forget
I got tired of the running
Free wheeling down with broken breaks
Always fixing someone else
Oh, the silence keeping me awake
Falling felt like flying
Oh, but landing here was not a choice we made
We do talk about it
We don’t burn out, we just fade away
Oh and I’ll tell you something
But I guess there’s nothing to say
Oh and if there was
Wouldn’t make a difference anyway
'Cause when the mountains crumble
When the stars fall out the sky
When the oceans are rising
And I can’t run from the tide
Maybe then I’ll realise
That I’m a sucker for you
And I’m not angry just bereft
And it’s the same thing tomorrow
Just a new pack of cigarettes
'Cause you’re not coming back
So I’ll hold on to what is left
Oh, 'cause you’re not coming back
So I’ll hold on to what is left
'Cause you’re not coming back
So I’ll hold on to what is left
And try not to forget
