Fade Away
The N.C. Thirteens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I smile
When I see you passing by
Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
Long ago
We thought that we both knew
Long ago
The meaning and the truth
You saw me beg
When we lost the will to fight
You saw me plead
When we both had to be right
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
And so now
I need you to see
Just how
I wanted things to be
'Cause it's not right
To live in bitterness
No, it's not right
We deserve more than this
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
So I smile
When I see you passing by




Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry
