Fading by Berry Robertson Lyrics
What happened to above?
What happened to beyond?
What happened to 2am late night phone calls?
Coughing butterflies out of our lungs, suffocating
On promises that clearly weren’t enough
And you stood there completely unaware
But I didn’t say a word, no I didn’t dare
Waited two whole fucking years
We didn’t even last one
Now look what we’ve become
And you can run but those who do aren’t truly happy
With who they are, so they’ll go find better company
Becoming outlines and shadows of people I once knew
And there you go too
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
Can’t you see
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
A flashlight flickering
In the darkness surrounding who you are
And supposed to be
You’re fading, you’re fading from me
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
Friends talk and friends laugh and friends hug each other
But now it’s just cold glances and bumping shoulders
The word okay spilling like poison from my lips
Did you even really want this?
And I’ll go out dancing alone tonight
But it won’t feel exactly right
Cause we moved perfectly in sync
Like little puppets on fragile strings
Tangled in the broken memories
And you can run but those who do aren’t truly happy
With who they are, so they’ll go find better company
Becoming outlines and shadows of people I once knew
And there you go too
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
Can’t you see
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
A flashlight flickering
In the darkness surrounding who you are
And supposed to be
You’re fading, you’re fading from me
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
I dare you to look me right in the eyes
And state for the first time the real reason why
You acted like a child
Sticks and stones breaking bones
But words shattered my heart
And you can run and go find somebody new
And I’ll be left with my yellow heart
Turning a deeper shade of blue
Cause you burned bridges
With the spark between us two
What did you do?
And you can run but those who do aren’t truly happy
With who they are, so they’ll go find better company
Becoming outlines and shadows of people I once knew
And there you go too
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
Can’t you see
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
A flashlight flickering
In the darkness surrounding who you are
And supposed to be
You’re fading, you’re fading from me
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
You don’t want me
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
The flashlight isn’t flickering
It’s dark and it’s dead and now I cannot see
That you’ve faded, you’ve faded from me
Oh oh oh oh (x3)
What happened to beyond?
What happened to 2am late night phone calls?
Coughing butterflies out of our lungs, suffocating
On promises that clearly weren’t enough
And you stood there completely unaware
But I didn’t say a word, no I didn’t dare
Waited two whole fucking years
We didn’t even last one
Now look what we’ve become
And you can run but those who do aren’t truly happy
With who they are, so they’ll go find better company
Becoming outlines and shadows of people I once knew
And there you go too
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
Can’t you see
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
A flashlight flickering
In the darkness surrounding who you are
And supposed to be
You’re fading, you’re fading from me
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
Friends talk and friends laugh and friends hug each other
But now it’s just cold glances and bumping shoulders
The word okay spilling like poison from my lips
Did you even really want this?
And I’ll go out dancing alone tonight
But it won’t feel exactly right
Cause we moved perfectly in sync
Like little puppets on fragile strings
Tangled in the broken memories
And you can run but those who do aren’t truly happy
With who they are, so they’ll go find better company
Becoming outlines and shadows of people I once knew
And there you go too
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
Can’t you see
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
A flashlight flickering

Oh oh oh oh (x2)

You’re fading out, you’re fading out

Oh oh oh oh (x2)
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
You don’t want me
You’re fading out, you’re fading out
The flashlight isn’t flickering
It’s dark and it’s dead and now I cannot see
That you’ve faded, you’ve faded from me
Oh oh oh oh (x3)
