fade out lyrics

Fade out like a photograph

Just a memory to forget

You burn black like a cigarette

I’ll discard you when I’m done

You break down when you need the rest

What a selfish way to drown

Then lay down with the thief you met

And enjoy the pride you’ve won

So let loose those tears, darling

Cause I’ll turn my back

So tell me the story

How you lose this all I’m guessin’

But don’t tell me you’re sorry

I’m through with it all

And I won’t be back again

I’m burnt out on your etiquette

How you caponize the son

Then lie down with another one

As you canonize yourself

So let loose those tears, darling

Cause I’ll turn my back

So tell me the story

How you lose this all I’m guessin’

But don’t tell me you’re sorry

I’m through with it all

And I won’t be back again

You’re breaking all the rules

And killing all my self-esteem that’s left

You take me for a fool

You’re killing all my self-esteem that’s left

So tell me the story

How you lose this all I’m guessin’

You’re looking so worried

Can you feel it come undone?

Such a pitiful story

But I finally learned my lesson

Don’t tell me you’re sorry

I am through with it all

And I won’t be back again
