Fade
Audio feat. Shasta Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deny that you ever knew
I’m not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise

Deny that you ever knew
That it would surely end this way, oh
Love will not outlast the sunrise
Come away from there
That promise is far too deep
Dawn and daylight come
To edge us towards the meek
This is our opening
Be grand, but do not speak, no
For it is the closing night
And this we cannot, we cannot repeat

This is the way to become a star
Just follow the desperate soul
Who trades in the flesh
I'd have done the same if someone will let me in, oh

Deny that you ever knew
I’m not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise

Come away from there
We don’t know what’s inside
All that we once were
May have found a place to hide
You blush like the ingénue
But I have seen you lead, so
That is done tonight
But of this we cannot speak

Deny that you ever knew
I’m not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise

We cannot escape, we cannot escape
We cannot escape

Don't be afraid to ask
But any vows we make
Will never stand a chance
They'll break before the day

Deny that you ever knew
I'm not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise

Deny that you ever knew
I'm not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise

Deny that you ever knew




I'm not gonna give the end away, no
We cannot escape the sunrise
