Verse one:
My world is spinning way too fast
With thoughts if love really does last
When loosing hope is all I have left
And open roads don't really have a path...

Chorus:
I tighten my grip, just to watch you fade away.
Your holding onto something that will never let you stay.
Pretending the "perfect life" will come, as you might say.
But your loosing the most perfect things every single day.

Verse two:
My heart can only take so much wrath
It's holding on, but slipping through the cracks
When days never seem to end
And it would be easier to break then bend

Chorus:
I tighten my grip, just to watch you fade away.
You're holding onto something that will never let you stay.
Pretending a "perfect life" will come, as you might say.
But you're loosing the most perfect things every single day.

Outro:
Fade away... You're fading away... Fade Away... You keep fading away...
Fade away... You're fading away... Fade away... You keep fading away...
Fade away... You're fading away... Fade away... You keep fading away...

I really am enjoying the chorus. Very powerful lyrics. I love it!

Thank you so much

Nice job, much love for the 1st verse esp. "and open roads don't really have a path"

It's thought-provoking.

Hi ! Yes, I read various time this desperate pice of lyrics and came to the conclusion that such strong chorus lyrics need a special
"musical support".
Beautifully done and expressed. Topper!

Very good lyrics. Keep holding on.

Great rhymes!Only one little suggestion;see if you can trim the "buts" "when's" and other words that may not fit.It's almost there,a prefect song,the extra words mess up the rhythm.Just my opinion,I could be wrong!

Thank you all so much

I truly adore this song. I hear the outtro in my head as vocal harmonies stacked upon each other in the longest fade-out since The Beatles on Hey Jude.

That is such a compliment thank you so much Peter!
