I won't fade away Like a flame burnt out You're a shadow of yourself A memory blacked out The bridge has been burned down Less is learned in time When you fade to the background Will you take my hand? We will walk this road We can change the map I won't fade away I know you've been hurt But I will swear to stay I can be your strength To find your way back home I won't fade away Like the ones before I won't let you down We'll leave them miles away I know your heart's been torn I won't let you down However long it takes I will, I will never break Whatever path we take I won't, I won't fade away Like a thought recalled Picked up when we fall Held fast through it all All these wars with you Learned to make it through You know our hearts are true Now don't look to the past Leave the thoughts you had Those words and things you've planned We won't fade again We're all broken We'll make it in the end I can be your strength To find your way back home I won't fade away Like the ones before I won't let you down We'll leave them miles away I know your heart's been torn I won't let you down However long it takes I will, I will never break Whatever path we take I won't, I won't fade away Rise higher Your mind is an echo Your mind is an echo Shine brighter Get out of the shadows Get out of the shadows I won't fade away I won't fade away Like the ones before I won't let you down We'll leave them miles away I know your heart's been torn I won't let you down However long it takes I will, I will never break Whatever path we take I won't, I won't fade away I won't fade away I won't fade away!
