Fading Away

I’m falling down from the mountain top
Knowing this ride won’t ever stop
At any second my life will drop
Down on my knees with tears flowin’ down my cheeks
Please, hear my cry and take it all away

I feel like there’s nothing for me here;
No love, not found.
I feel like my life is unclear;
Questions with no answers
I feel like I live in fear;
No hope, no happiness.

No-where to go, no-body to turn to
screaming at the top of my lungs, but no-one hears
It feels like I’m buried six feet under
They pass me by like its me they don’t see
My life is nothing but wasted years

They can see I’m headed down the wrong path
Take my hand and show me the way
When I cry, wipe away my tears
“I’m here for you.” they always say
And where are you now?
No more love, no more trust

Through the years,everything and everyone’s changed.
Everyone lies like they don’t care
They once were friends, but where’d they go?
Only if things could have stayed the same
It’s just not fair

My life is slowly fading away.
