Love fades in,
Love fades out.
But all that remains is the pounding rain inside my head.

Let it all fade away.
All I need is for you not to stay.
Not stay, and say that everything will be okay.

Everything fades with time including the memory of you.
I am forgetting everything that's happened in the past.
I will be free, at ease,
At last.

I am leaving the old and looking forward to things all new and pure.
It is the only cure.
I am letting all my painful aching feelings leave me,
I am starting new, by forgetting you.
Maybe then I will get over you once and for all.
No looking back.

I look at you and I see nothing.
I want a kiss that is finally true.
I no longer need you or the memory of you to comfort me in the time of need.
It all fades away, I wish it could happen faster.

You no longer need me, as you never really did.
You only pretended to love me when the time seemed so right.
You put on quite a show when everyone else was around.
I just want you to disappear,
I need it all to just fade away.

You never cared for me and I felt it several times before.
I just denied it because I wanted it to be true.
It was only the thrill of you being mine in the beginning, which I guess you never really were.
It was just a false dream of you that was never really there.
Where the touch of one lover ends,
The chance for a new relationship and friendship with another begins.

I want a new start.
You are becoming no more than a blur of excitement which lasted only a short time.
Was it all worth it?
I begin to wonder, or just a waste of time?
Was it just another fantasy of mine that never completely came true?
A blur that fades away, that's what you are.
My confidence is broken, but only for a while.
What I see and feel now is going to be real.
It is so much better to desire sometimes, than to actually have.
