She treads the line every day
Bags under her arms
She balances weight
Using her charm
She keeps the bad luck away

Out in the rain with something to sell
Bags under her eyes
But she carries them well
She tell you the truth
While she lies to herself

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades

Faded skin, under fading tattoo
Leads onto scar
Which leads onto bruise
A bed meant for one
Becomes a bed made for two

She's lost, don't know where I'll find her
She's lost, this is a reminder
She's lost, don't know where I'll find her at all,

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do?

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do now?

I tried to show her the way
I tried to show her the way
Before it's too late
I tried to show her the way

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do now?

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
She fades, she's fading away
