Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been folding up pain in my back pocket
Big face on my chest, but the weight still got it
Mama said, "Boy, talk less, let your eyes say it"
Now I talk to the floor when the night plays it
Got a cracked-back chair and a bitter cup
Old shoes by the door, I still lace 'em up
Same road, same scars, still I make that turn
Every step got a bruise, every lesson burn
I done smiled through storms with a split lip
Held my pride in my hand like a slipped grip
If I fall, I fall hard, but I fall real
Still I got a soft spot where the raw heal
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' carry this
When my voice go thin like this?
Tell me who gon' hear me out
When the whole room turns to doubt?
[Chorus]
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
I got dust on my collar
And a storm in my chest today
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
If you know what I'm under
Say my name and make me stay
[Verse 2]
I seen hope in a screen crack, gone quick
Seen a friend turn cold with a one-word switch
Seen love pack bags with a silent face
Left me holding my breath in an empty place
Now I write with a hand that shakes a little
Every line like rain through a broken middle
I been chasing that sound when the world feel wrong
Like a whistle in the wind and a half-sung song
If I laugh, it's a shield for the ache inside
If I look away, that's me trying to hide
But the truth sit heavy, it don't let go
And my heart keep talking when my mouth say no
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' carry this
When my voice go thin like this?
Tell me who gon' hear me out
When the whole room turns to doubt?
[Chorus]
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
I got dust on my collar
And a storm in my chest today
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
If you know what I'm under
Say my name and make me stay
[Bridge]
I ain't asking for gold, I ain't asking for grace
Just a little warm light on a tired-up face
If you hear me slipping, pull me back in
I been losing myself where the edges end
[Chorus]
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
I got dust on my collar
And a storm in my chest today
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
If you know what I'm under
Say my name and make me stay
