Lyrics
FADING
(written by Lily & KayeN; Dichorum)
Here it goes: no one wants to know the truth that they weren't around for you.
Another one down, nobody around.
Here is your song, i'll sing it for you. You can listen while you're sleeping
if you can hear me, if you can hear me.
I wish you could've been happy.
Nobody cared, nobody dared, nobody shared, nobody wanted to be around you;
now they're all standing over your grave
and they don't know what to say,
but:
"Come, come back to us.
Give us, give us another chance
and we'd be sure to see
who you'd turn out to be,"
but now you're six feet deep;
so here's your threnody.
They never knew what they had until the day it's dead.
Left it alone, but now they
lament and feel that there is more to be said
but it's too late. Just wait.
When it's time, you can say your goodbye's,
but for now: just writhe
on your knees. A carcass: who you try to please.
let it go, let them lay and rest in peace.
They all think of the memories they shared with you
and how everyday they pushed you away.
Each day you gave a little, caved a little in to the epidemic
of ridicule that fueled your fading.
Now they say they never meant it
and wish they could take back all that.
They don't understand
that words can kill a man.
"We weren't there for you then,
but we're here for you now.
Come back to us again
this time we can be friends."
Such words have no meaning
when you are six feet deep,
upon felo-de-se
comes your own threnody.
They never knew what they had until the day it's dead.
Left it alone, but now they
lament and feel that there is more to be said
but it's too late. Just wait.
When it's time, you can say your goodbye's,
but for now: just writhe
on your knees. A carcass: who you try to please.
let it go, let them lay and rest in peace.
Such words have no meaning
when you are six feet deep,
upon felo-de-se
comes your own threnody.
"Come, come back to us.
Give us, give us another chance"
(it's too late)
