I stand behind these lies
While I fall apart inside
There's no one to tell me why
Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seems to fade
To this melancholy state
Who says what I am to change?
Did I ever take time to breathe?

Can you keep me in the dark
And never let me see
The light can be so much worse

And I feel it slip away
One last good memory
Our time has come and gone

I'm fading away

A little bit closer
To that moment
I'm standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit farther
Till I'm caught up
To what I'm running from
But I know the end
It always ends with you

Try to hold onto the pain
The one thing that won't change
It's keeping me grounded

And the one reality
Starts slipping away
And crumbles all around me

I'm fading away

A little bit closer
To that moment
I'm standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit farther
Till I'm caught up
To what I'm running from
But I know the end
It always ends with you

I stand behind these lies
While I fall apart inside
There's no one to tell me why
Did I ever close my eyes to see?

Colours seems to fade
To this melancholy state
Who says what I am to change?

A little bit closer
To that moment
I'm standing next to you
But I know
How this story will unfold

A little bit jaded
Can't take it
There's only one way out
So I know the end
It always ends with you
