As You Fade Away

(album: Better Days: The Collection - 2022)

I know you told your friend you're not ok
And tell me what's wrong and why you never said you felt that way
I guess you try to stay strong and fake a smile until I look away
But I've known you too long, it hurts to watch your blue eyes fade to gray
As your fade away, as you fade away

Yea I'm bout to fade away
Cuz every time I wake up I feel like it's Monday
Something's going wrong with all the chemicals up in my brain
All the sudden I don't look at anything the same way
Got a build up of my thoughts sitting in an ash tray
I'm sorry that I'm so inconvenient ok
Just let me be me and I'll stay out of your way
I can see the way you look at me, I'm such a disgrace
I never really asked to be brought into this place
You wanna love me well then baby have a taste
All the highs and the lows, no you'll never be the same
I don't really want to hurt you, but I can't control the pain
If your sticking by my side maybe we can be ok
Ok ok
Maybe you could be the change I need today
I promise that I've never felt this way
I really hope that you will chose to stay through all the pain

I know you told your friend you're not ok
And tell me what's wrong and why you never said you felt that way
I guess you try to stay strong and fake a smile until I look away
But I've known you too long, it hurts to watch your blue eyes fade to gray
As you fade away, as you fade away
As you fade away, as you fade away
As you fade away, as you fade away

I think I need help
I'm going through hell
I fake like I'm fine, but I know you can tell
Like nothing I've felt
My mind overwhelms
I think that I'm broken but I hope you can help
I know I'm not perfect
But some days I feel far more worthless
Baby you make me feel nervous
If I still have you I have purpose, it's all worth it

I know you told your friend you're not ok
And tell me what's wrong and why you never said you felt that way
I guess you try to stay strong and fake a smile until I look away
But I've known you too long, it hurts to watch your blue eyes fade to gray
As your fade away, as you fade away
As your fade away, as you fade away

I know you told your friend you're not ok
And tell me what's wrong and why you never said you felt that way
I guess you try to stay strong and fake a smile until I look away
But I've known you too long, it hurts to watch your blue eyes fade to gray
