Fade Away - By Monica Ruiz

Monica Ruiz is 22 years old. Music is her life. She's an artistic person so writing songs and poems comes naturally. She may be too shy to sing them to anyone else other than to myself, but thinks it’s a great way to express who she is. Enjoy my lyrics, they helped her through some tough times. She hopes it’ll do the same to someone out there who might be in the same situation she was.

Fade Away

Verse 1
After lies and after blame
I crawl out of my boxed up pain
When you’re near me I cant stay
I run away... you fade away.

When you’re gone, I’m feeling sad
When your here its twice as bad.
Secrets from the time we met
Promises you never kept.

Bridge:
How can you see me through my walls?
How can you help me when I fall?
When I fall…. In these walls.

Chorus:
Instantly
You were taking too long
You were slipping from me
And now you’re gone.

You were letting me down
I was breaking today
And I fell to the ground
And now you fade away
(You fade away)

Verse 2
Knowing you were out of reach
Confusing me when you speak
With the words that I say
You never listened anyway

You kept holding back from me
Memories of what couldn’t be
Love is what I learn to hate
Ropes and chains, I won’t escape.

Bridge:
How can you see me through my walls?
How can you help me when I fall?
When I fall…. In these walls.

Chorus:
Instantly
You were taking too long
You were slipping from me
And now you’re gone.

You were letting me down
I was breaking today
And I fell to the ground
And now you fade away
(You fade away)
Last Verse
I walk around in a daze,
Because of you I’m in a maze
Breaking down everyday
Because of you I feel this way.

Bridge:
How can you see me through my walls?
How can you help me when I fall?
When I fall…. In these walls.

Chorus:
Instantly
You were taking too long
You were slipping from me
And now you’re gone.

You were letting me down
I was breaking today
And I fell to the ground
And now you fade away
(You fade away)
Now I Fade Away
