Fading Away

As you are growing stronger everyday
Oh, how it hurts to see myself fading away.

Dedicated to the ones who hurt us.

Like a moment of sunshine that is covered by darkness.
I'm Fading Fast.

Like a shimmer of color that is washed away by the beating of the tide.
I'm Sinking Slowly.

Like the sparkle in a childs eyes, that is crushed by disappointment.
I'm Losing Faith.

Like the first time your heart skipped a beat, and then you got to know him.
I Cannot Trust.

Like the first  time you went to leave, and then disappointed yourself.
I'm Giving In.

Like the one time you knew who you were, and then lived for someone else.
I'm Fading Away.
