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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
