lyrics
FADE AWAY
words and music by Hans Hauser
you guys can easily say
“it’s better to burnout than to fade away”
your shadows are hanging over me
I feel unworthy of your company
I search my soul, I drain my heart
I share my love, I share my pain
but it’s never gonna be good enough,
no, it’s never gonna be good enough!
no, it’s never gonna be good enough for me.
and all in all it’s alright –
my light’s never gonna shine just as bright
and all in all it’s ok
that I won’t burn out, just fade away
I feel paralyzed when I write my words
haunted by the songs I’ve heard
enlightened by your genius that mortifies the rest of us
overwhelmed by your legacy, I envy you for your creativity
and all in all it’s alright –
my light’s never gonna shine just as bright
and all in all it’s ok
that I won’t burn out, just fade away
I search my soul, I drain my heart
I share my love, I share my pain
but it’s never gonna be good enough,
no, it’s never gonna be good enough!
no, it’s never gonna be good enough for me.
and all in all it’s alright –
my light’s never gonna shine just as bright
and all in all it’s ok
that I won’t burn out, just fade away.
