Fade Away

Fade Away
Back when we were in high school
Everyone was lookin’ good and feelin’ cool
But I got to walk down the halls with you
All the other kids snarled at our “special brew”
I’d take you home to sit on my couch
By ourselves in the basement of my parents house
Stay up all night watching videos
cuddle all alone when your toes were cold

I always saw our love as full grown
So i would write you endless poems
You told me that you’d never leave
You said it’d always be you and me
But now things have up and gone astray
And i still think about you everyday
Trapped in my room now all alone
In the cold watching old videos
When my phone rings I still hope it’s you
And the fact that this is never true
It makes it so much harder to say
(I just want to fall in love again)
Still when our song plays i pray for you
And knowing there’s nothing I can do
(I want someone to hold my hand)
It’s really hard for me to understand
That you can feel this way towards another man
because every girl I’ve met since that dreadful day
Compared to you has been pathetic, in every way
But i need to find a way to move along
Because holding on to you is feeling wrong
I just wish someone could understand
That i just can’t fall in love again

When my phone rings I still hope it’s you
And the fact that this is never true
It makes it so much harder to say
(I just want to fall in love again)
Still when our song plays i pray for you
And knowing there’s nothing I can do
It makes it oh-so hard to say
(I want someone to hold my hand)
You told me things would get better
When I downed all of your liquor
You told me everything would be okay
That nothing ever would go astray
But I’m still left here and I’m all alone
To sit and wait by my telephone
You told me things would be okay
That our love couldn’t fade away
