Fade

[Verse 1]
Always been alone, wish I could call my mommy
Wrap me like a doll and just drive me home
Left out in the cold, oh, where is everybody?
Thought that there'd be something at the end of the road

[Pre-Chorus]
If I screamed, would you hear it?
If I bled out, would you feel it?
And I know I should just let go
But it's sewn in with a red thread
The grime under my nail beds
There's nowhere else that I could go

[Chorus]
Oh, hey, I'll celebrate my pain
Like ashеs in a vase, won't let it fade away
And hold my hand and walk mе slow
I'm scared to cross the road, won't let it fade away

[Refrain]
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away

[Verse 2]
I'll get down on my knees, a self-serving religion
Could I spend the night in my childhood home?
The sheets would be warm, my feet would hang over
Wouldn't be the same, but at least it'd be close
[Pre-Chorus]
If I screamed, would you hear it?
If I bled out, would you feel it?
And I know I should just let go
But it's sewn in with a red thread
The grime under my nail beds
And there's nowhere else that I could go

[Chorus]
Oh, hey, I'll celebrate my pain
Like ashes in a vase, won't let it fade away
And hold my hand and walk me slow
I'm scared to cross the road, won't let it fade away

[Bridge]
I've run my feet bloody to the bone
Little girl in a woman's coat
She's always there, crying with the door closed

[Refrain]
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
