Fade

Please don’t ask me any questions
because I don’t want to lie to you.
I don’t want to pretend
I’m doing fine.

Please don’t look at me
I don’t want to let you see
I’m sitting here in tears.

Please don’t tell me, please don’t say a word
and let me walk away in silence;
let me forget my existence.

I wish it was me in your place;
standing there on your own feet on the ground,
living the life like you’re suppose to do.

I wish I was in your shoes, underneath your shirt,
underneath your skin and beside your heart and soul.

You said once you thought it would be you and me
and now I can only ask:
Why? Why couldn’t it be me?
Why can I never be one of the lucky ones?
Why, why, why?

Please don’t say you’re sorry
please don’t feel pity for me.
Just let me step aside
and walk, and walk this road.
Let me fade.
