"Fade" lyrics - STAIND

"Fade"

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too much to conceive

[Pre-Chorus:]
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

[Chorus:]
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt, I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you?
When all this I was going through
You never took the time
To ask me just what you could do

[Pre-Chorus:]
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became cause

[Chorus:]
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt, I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

[Bridge:]
Oh, I never meant to fade
Away
I never meant to fade

[Chorus:]
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt, I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

[Outro:]
I try to breathe...
