Fadeaway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That flame blew out in a cross-fade wind And I don't know if it'll get lit again I watched your taillights fade in a red sunset And now I'm tryin' like hell to try and forget That [Chorus] It's broken, you're long gone Everythin' that coulda been, went wrong and I tried, my best to hold on to what I could but you just slipped Right outta my fingertips, right off of my lips Swore everythin' would be okay And you would never leave, you'd always stay Then I watched you fade away [Verse 2] Nothin' hurts worse than a stovetop burn (Stovetop burn) After the first time, you'd think I'd learn That it was always gonna end like this With a fell-short wish and it can't be fixed 'cause [Chorus] It's broken, you're long gone Everythin' that coulda been, went wrong and I tried, my best to hold on to what I could but you just slipped Right outta my fingertips, right off of my lips Swore everythin' would be okay And you would never leave, you'd always stay Then I watched you fade away [Post-Chorus] Then I watched you fade away [Bridge] Yeah, it was always gonna end like this With a fell-short wish and it can't be fixed 'cause [Chorus] It's broken, you're long gone Everythin' that coulda been, went wrong and I tried, my best to hold on to what I could but you just slipped Right outta my fingertips, right off of my lips Swore everythin' would be okay And you would never leave, you'd always stay Then I watched you fade away [Post-Chorus] Then I watched you fade away [Outro] Yeah it's broken, you're long gone
