Lyrics
Flicker Fade
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 you should change your name
I'll love you just the same
And if you should run away
I would save your place
So you can go, go, go
If you want to I wouldn't try
And stop you
But I couldn't say I blame you
Flicker flicker fade, destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
You wonder why it always ends the same
When I said I hate that song
About fire and sex you love
I couldn't tell you why
Why I did it, why I lied
And I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong
It's evil, but true it's what
I want to make you
(So I can say I blame you) so I can say I blame you
Flicker flicker fade, destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
Flicker flicker fade, destroy what you create
And wonder why it always ends the same
You wonder why it always ends
You wonder why it always ends the same
You live your life, like you're not in control
Like you're playing a role
You live your life, like you're not in control
Like you're playing a role
You wonder why it always ends the same
You wonder why it always ends (destroy what you create)
Wonder why it always ends
