It's been too long since I've been here
It's been too quiet, cold and still
It's been too long since I cried to you
I've been a liar
I could be honest, tell you I'm lonely
I could be open
But what good is that
I made my choice
And I found my voice
And it's all I'll ever need
I made my choice
And through all the noise
I hear you sing to me
Go ahead fade away
Cause I'll live without you
Find me a reason other than you
To keep up this face
To follow through
Find me a place where you aren't life
Where it's not always night
And I have the will to fight
I could keep lying
Running from everything
I could keep hiding
But what good is that
I've made my choice
And I found my voice And it's all I'll ever need
I made my choice
And through all the noise I hear you sing to me
Go ahead fade away
Cause I'll live without you
Go ahead risk it all
I'll tell them about you
I'll be with you
You can't lose me
I chose you before you knew me
Go ahead fade away
Cause I'll live, I'll live
I try and pretend there's not emptiness but I come up short every time
So in the end when there's nothing left
I'm standing here with you
You know I get so low when I realize
That every one of us is futile we all gonna die
And then I feel so helpless
When I realize everyone is selfish
They don't wanna see so they don't have to fight
But I can't pretend that I don't see all the hate
I can't pretend that there's not people who won't miss my name
I can't deceive myself into believing
That the worlds okay without the sound
I make
So I see my generation that's affecting change
And I call myself a leader so I gotta stay
I volunteer to lead a pack of those that can't be bought
Cause at the end of our time
This music's all we got
Go ahead fade away
Cause I'll live, I'll live
Go ahead risk it all
I'll tell them about you
I'll be with you
You can't lose me
I chose you before you knew me
Go ahead fade away
Cause I'll live, I'll live
