Fade Away

Verse

Everyone’s running, nobody knows

Where they’re going or why they go

Smiling faces, heavy eyes

We’re all just trying to stay alive

Phones light up the dark at night

But no one feels alright

We talk in circles, sleep alone

Call this place a home

Pre-Chorus (soft, eerie)

I don’t wanna disappear

I just don’t wanna feel this here

Chorus (simple, haunting)

Sometimes I wanna fade away

Just get quiet for a day

Not forever, just enough

To forget the weight of us

Sometimes I wanna close my eyes

Let the world just pass me by

I don’t wanna die

I just wanna fade a little

Verse 2

Everybody says “be strong”

But they don’t say for how long

We chase dreams we don’t believe

Just to feel like we belong

City lights, empty prayers

Same thoughts everywhere

If you feel it, you’re not strange

We’re all breaking the same way

Chorus (slightly fuller, still restrained)

Sometimes I wanna fade away

Just get quiet for a day

Not forever, just enough

To forget the weight of us

Sometimes I wanna close my eyes

Let the world just pass me by

I don’t wanna die

I just wanna fade a little

Bridge (drop everything — hums)

Mmm…

You feel it too, don’t you?

Mmm…

I know you do

Final Chorus (almost whispered)

If you ever feel alone

Like you don’t fit in your bones

You’re not broken, you’re just human

Trying not to lose it

Sometimes we all fade away

Just to make it through the day

I don’t wanna die

I just wanna fade a little

Outro

Mmm…

Fade a little…
