Fading Away

memories float by on the river
with the flowers I didn't give her
maybe she'll see them downstream
it was too good, couldn't be trusted
left her heart outside till it rusted
now it just won't bleed for me

I'm taking my time going nowhere
I'm hoping the light will lead the way
I see the light burning out today
I'm fading away

In the past, the deeds and decisions
here and now, the lies and revisions
never know the price we paid
for the lovesick soul, no tomorrow
empty house and a heart full of sorrow
living with mistakes I made

hey little girl
can't you see the dream is dying
what a mixed up world
can't even see your baby crying
my flag unfurled
the mighty heart it's torn and tattered, but still
if I can love you , I will
