Fade Away
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.
Oh
Oh
It's starting to rain again
Everything's gone now
Even the sun
It's starting to rain again
Don't go away
What have I done?
Hmm
I've been high and I've been low
I've been wealthy and I've been poor
I don't know much
But one thing I know, this ain't no fun
Hmm
Sometimes I wish
That I can stand here and fade away
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see
The tears running down my face
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great
I painted a picture
With her in his arms
Hmm
It's starting to rain again
It's all in my mind
He's done me no harm
Hmm
I've been up and I've been down
Through all my drama, he's still around
I can't believe that even now
I put us through the storm
Oh
Sometimes I wish
That I can stand here and fade away
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see
The tears running down my face
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great
Couldn't look at myself in the mirror
Asking myself, "How dumb could you be?"
Maybe everything would be much
Clearer if no one could see me
Hmm
Oh
Oh, invisibility would be great
Oh
Sometimes I wish
That I can stand here and fade away
(Sometimes)
Oh
So that no one could see
The tears running down my face
(Sometimes)
Oh, invisibility would be great
(Sometimes)
Oh
Hey
Hey
(Sometimes)
(Sometimes)
