Fade - Casey

The emptiness I harboured in the questions that I asked was almost palpable,

it tasted like the soft skin on your back

And when I said «Where did you go?»

what I meant was «Since you left,

I have haven’t had the chance to hate you nearly half as much as I’ve hated

myself»

We were in love, at least that’s what I came to call it, I was never really

quite sure if it was;

because in growing up the hardest lesson learned is just

because you love someone, it doesn’t mean they love you in return

I always thought you’d fade when I buried you and me, but on our grave a bed of

flowers bloomed;

and now each day you grow more beautiful as I’m left to decay

I guess it’s true that some things never change

It’s been quite a long time now but I’m still so weak

I found a bliss in my ignorance until ignorance found hell in me

When I said «Where did you go?»

what I meant was «Since you left I haven’t had

the chance to hate you half as much as I loved you then»

It’s been a long time now, but I still spend my nights laying awake

The kind of tired that sleep wouldn’t shake, the kind of empty that fills the

entire space in my chest cavity where I tried to keep you safe;

but you escaped

It’s been quite a long time now but I’m still so weak

I found a bliss in my ignorance until ignorance found hell in me

When I said «Where did you go?»

what I meant was «Since you left I haven’t had

the chance to hate you half as much as I loved you then»
