Fade to Black (Live)

(Verse 1)
So you let her go
And then she walked away and never came back home
Wasn't so easy being handed everything you have to hold
See how it weeps
And the tears do come and fall upon your knees
It's not so easy when your only choice is just to let it go

(Verse 2)
She scratched and clawed while crawling in the garden
Begging, pleading on her knees
"Just help me for a moment and you'll surely cure my disease
How can you leave me when what ails me is still buried in my bones?"

(Chorus)
So I tried to forget you
And I'm never, ever lookin' back
As I look into the sun it fades to black
That's how it goes
When you walk away and never come back home
It's not so easy to become the only story you've been told
Patience, patient one
Just hold on a little longer, this is fun
Baiting, breathing, bodies closed from letting in or letting go

(Verse 4)
I saw her face beneath me as I felt the ache that fell at my feet
Which one can hold on to or grasp at Heaven's Mercy Seat
Why do you pray me weeping willow for a root I can't provide

(Verse 5)
See you came to me, my dear, in search of one more careful caress
But look these empty hands and say what sound you think I possess
These hands they bleed because you still believe that I'm Emmanuel

(Chorus)
So I tried to forget you
And I'm never, ever looking back
As I look into the sun it fades to black
I'm on my own
And when I walk away, I never come back home
It's just so easy to become the only story you've been told
Patience, patient one
Just hold on a little longer this is fun
It's just a memory
Let it go, let it go, let it go

(Guitar solo)

(Outro)
So you let her go
And then she walked away and never came back home
Wasn't so easy being handed everything you have to hold
See how it weeps
And the tears do come and fall upon your knees
It's not so easy when your only choice is just to let it go
