I shut the shades throughout the day and open them at night 

Try to get a decent sleep but we put up a fight 

I think about the days when we would just hang out 

Just chill out and live 

And now I, sit alone and realize how time has passed me by 



And pictures show the meaning of what things once were like 

But I burned pictures years ago, I just got to you tonight 

Show me how it was, tell me it won't be again 

Set my sights on what I've lost and I'll go back to bed 

Back to bed 



And I wake up everyday, wishing things had stayed the same 

I go to bed such a mess, my stomach turns from loneliness 

And under these sheets, sleeps with me, nothing but my sympathy 

I thought my friends would never leave 

Just close my eyes, just close my eyes 

Thoughts fade away in sleep 



Fade away 

Real slow 

Fade away tonight 

So I can't remember the best time of my life 

Fade away real slow 

So I can't fall asleep to you tonight 



Fade away 

Real slow 

So I can't remember you or any of this 

At least I've got my memories to hold me in my place, just stay awake tonight
