Fade Away

You tried too, hard too long
But you come too far to not carry on
You tried too, hard too long
But you come too far to not carry on
You tried too, hard too long
But you come too far to not carry on
You tried too, hard too long
But you come too far to not carry on
You tried too, hard too long
But you come too far to not carry on

Don't give up
Yeah
Don't give up

The times are tough
They push the self destruct button
The medics see, the room is painted red, the blood gushing
Your eyes flicker for the last time, your last days
Run a marathon through the last brain waves
You remember that time you were so free
And didn't appreciate your youth, you tried to grow quick
Your hurt was unresolved, shock you like a thunderbolt
All your secrets they now start to come afloat
Your toxins, they were self administered to help you finish the job, you need a lot more then you got
Said you didn't want friends, pushed yourself away from them
When you were down how did you have your conversations then? Huh?
Used to think of dead relatives in mediative states
Used your poison as a sedative, you settled your fate
Chose self, chose money, wanted luxury
That's so funny to you now you 'bout to touch the deep
Seeing the faces of those you loved in the past. Seeing all the places you were happy, now you start to laugh
Seeing achievements you were proud of like an age ago
And now your bodys letting go and somethings taking hold
The light hits and lifts you like a tractor beam
The tragedy dawns, all in your thoughts is why why did it have to be?
You're feelin' the shocking volts
All you hear is 'clear' and 'go'
You're wondering what is happening now you really need to know
A sudden calm, and then it's silent for a moment
As your eyes flicker open to the doctor standing over you
And then it's silent for a moment
You see the doctor standing over you

You tried too hard, too long
But you come too far to not carry on
Don't give up, let time take away the pain
Stay with us right here, don't fade away
You tried too hard, too long
But you come too far to not carry on
Don't give up, let time take away the pain
Stay with us right here, don't fade away

Let the stress float away, and don't focus on the pain
Some people only want you there when you go away
Other people can't understand, and they won't relate
Don't mistake that for hate, they're just stuck in their ways
You can break away, make a change, even if it's late today
You can hit the wave, sail away
Life is beautiful, we're all blessed to have a chance
I look back at past worries, sit back and laugh
But if you let it though, stress is a killer still
That's why I always shut down when I sit and chill
Easy to give up, hard to make a choice
Tryna shout loud, but you hardly made a noise
Everybody starts to look so self absorbed
I never stood for lies, or ever fell for yours
Scared to see and feel what I never felt before
I thought that you had left, but then I saw you held the door

You tried too hard, too long
But you come too far to not carry on
Don't give up, let time take away the pain
Stay with us right here, don't fade away
Ou tried too hard, too long
But you come too far to not carry on
Don't give up, let time take away the pain
Stay with us right here, don't fade away
