I think I'm fading away I think I'm falling out the picture and crawling down from the frame Give me a few more months before you forget my name Or the place we met. Am I one to forget? I think I'm fading away I think I'm fading away More often I am finding less and less to say Punctuated by the silence, I abstain from all The ways you try to be cool Always verging on cruel I can't hear my mouth My words are drenched in doubt There are things I'd like to say But they always slip away Again As I fade again Away again I fade again I think I'm fading away I've become impertinent and fear my words will stay Strangled in obscurity 'cuz one cannot be Great and stay comfortable Success always stems from struggle I can hear my mouth My words still filled with doubt But all the things I want to say Come pouring out anyway Again As I fade again Slip away again I fade again Our last vestige of youth Alluring us and eluding us I'm alluding to the delusion that I still need you
