Could’ve let me know That our time here was fleeting
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the place we knew
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the place I once believed in
I bite my nails when I’m walking home Cuz it helps when I’m grieving Fooled me twice I feel betrayed Don’t have to understand
Doctor says it’s all in my head I take the pills can’t go back to bed
Because I think of everything And I’m mourning all the words unsaid How was I supposed to know?
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the place we knew
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the world we knew
Free of fear Playing with our hearts like kids Like we’ll never age Like we’ll be whole again
It’s all faded black There’s no going back
I held my tongue for far too long Till my lungs started bleeding Let you feed on me so you’d feel strong Till my health was depleting
Doctor says you’re bad for my head I need the pills to get out of bed
Could’ve left me on the train Could’ve told me things weren’t the same Cuz how was I supposed to know?
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the place we knew
It’s all faded black There’s no going back To the world we knew
Free of fear Playing with our hearts like kids Like we’ll never age Like we’ll be whole again
There’s no going back There’s no going back
