Just To Fade Away
Yellow roses line the back streets
The dirt rises, makes the colors grey
We all walked along those back roads
Held hand and skipped some
Days, those days they fade
Away, away
Like the sun in the night time
Away, away
Like the sirens in the summer
I didn't call you, I was too busy and
I didn't want to hurt you
By leaving you again
I guess I messed up, what was I thinking?
Today has turned to night and now I'm gone
Away, away
Like the speeding bullet to the target
Away, away
Like I was never even meant to stay
You didn't chase me, I ran to fast and hard
You didn't want to lose me
By giving up again
I guess you messed up, what were you thinking?
Sunlight has turned to rain and here comes the pain
Away, away
Like the echo of the slamming door
Away, away
Like one you had never heard before
I tried to call you, but I lost all of my quarters
I tried to tell you I'm sorry
By calling you again
I guess we messed up, what were we thinking?
Happiness has turned to pain and here comes the reminder
Away, away
Like my footsteps to the car
Away, away
Like the one last beat of your heart
I don't know where to start
Nor where to end
Were we just playing a part?
Tell me was this just pretend?
Cause I don't know, did you want me to stay?
Cause I don't know, was I born just to fade away?
