Lyrics
Fading Fast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I ran so far that my life can't follow me
Would it keep the world from up and swallowing me
There's so much to weigh me down that I can hardly breathe
And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading fast
If I didn't look back and I changed my name
Would I find my new life exactly the same
I'm looking at an empty future that I already blame
And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading fast
I've put it all behind me just to have it one day find me
And now I'm just this far from gone
[ guitar ]
And so I'm leaving here on every cent that I could borrow
Lord only knows just where I'll be tomorrow
And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading
I don't want to think about it but I don't want this pain to last
And I I'm fading fast yeah I'm fading fast
