Fade Away Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm cold and broken

[Verse 1]
It's over—I didn't want to see it come to this
I wonder If I will ever see your face again
And I know that I will find a way to shed the skin
It's simple—I know that I will suffer in the end

[Chorus]
Fast, I fade away—it's almost over
Hold on
Slow, I suffocate—I'm cold and broken
Alone


[Verse 2]
It's hopeless—the end will come and wash it all away
Forsaken—I live for those I lost along the way
And I can't remember how it all began to break
We suffer—I live to fight and die another day

[Chorus]
Fast, I fade away—it's almost over
Hold on
Slow, I suffocate—I'm cold and broken
Alone

[Outro]
I'm cold and broken
