Fade
Skinny Living Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did it for the love and I can't say I′m sorry
Sat on the corner of my bed with my hands on my head
Thinking of the things I did
I don't want us to fade away
'Cause I don′t want us to fade away
Away
I′m here drowning in shame
I see it in your eyes who you blame
It's physically pulling me under
And I can′t let go
I watch tears fall from your face
But they don't wash your mistakes
And they don′t bring anything back
Why can't you just
Say say, say something good
Why can′t you just
Say say, say something good
Don't you know I
I didn't mean to hurt nobody
I did it for the love and I can′t say I′m sorry
Sat on the corner of my bed with my hands on my head
Thinking of the things I did
I don't want us to fade away
′Cause I don't want us to fade away
Away
These are the choices we made
We were both cut by this blade
Despite the pain I can′t walk away
Why can't you just
Say say, say something good
Why can′t you just
Say say, say something good
Don't you know I
I didn't mean to hurt nobody
I did it for the love and I can′t say I′m sorry
Sat on the corner of my bed with my hands on my head
Thinking of the things I did
I don't want us to fade away
′Cause I don't want us to fade away
Away
Don′t know where we're going
Lost in our emotions
I can′t believe everything is broken
Don't know where we're going
Lost in our emotions
I won′t believe everything is broken
Don′t know where we're going
Lost in our emotions
I can′t believe everything is broken
Don't know where we′re going
Lost in our emotions
I won't believe everything is broken
I didn′t mean to hurt nobody
I did it for the love and I can't say I'm sorry
Sat on the corner of my bed with my hands on my head
Thinking of the things I did
I don′t want us to fade away
′Cause I don't want us to fade away
′Cause I don't want us to fade away
′Cause I don't want us to fade away
Fade away

Away
I fear the distance between us
I’m here drowning in shame
I am consumed by guilt
I see it in your eyes who you blame
I can tell that you hold me responsible
It's physically pulling me under
The weight of my mistakes is overwhelming me
And I can’t let go
I can’t move on from my past actions
I watch tears fall from your face
I witness the pain I have caused you
But they don’t wash your mistakes
Your tears cannot erase the harm done
And they don't bring anything back
Crying won’t undo what’s been done
Why can't you just
I wish you would
Say say, say something good
Speak positively about us and our future
These are the choices we made
We both played a role in where we are now
We were both cut by this blade
We’ve been hurt by our decisions
Despite the pain I can’t walk away
I still care about our relationship
Don’t know where we're going
Uncertainty about our future together
Lost in our emotions
Our feelings are overwhelming and confusing
I can’t believe everything is broken
I am devastated by the state of our relationship
I won’t believe everything is broken
I am holding onto hope for us
Fade away
To gradually disappear
Away
I fear losing you
