Fading away

Only when I leave, they care about me But when I'm here, they're blind to my plea I try to speak, but my voice is unheard Left to wander, in this dark and lonely world I'm fading away, like the sunset in the sky No one's holding on, as I say goodbye I'm disappearing, into the shadows of my mind Leaving behind, the pieces of my heart and time I put on a smile, to hide the pain But it's hard to pretend, when the hurt remains I'm searching for a friend, who'll stay by my side But it's hard to find, when I'm lost and can't deny I'm fading away, like the sunset in the sky No one's holding on, as I say goodbye I'm disappearing, into the shadows of my mind Leaving behind, the pieces of my heart and time Maybe someday, they'll realize The love and the tears, that I've compromised But until then, I'll just fade away And hope that someday, I'll find a brighter day I'm fading away, like the sunset in the sky No one's holding on, as I say goodbye I'm disappearing, into the shadows of my mind Leaving behind, the pieces of my heart and time
