fade away

I’m slipping through the cracks of your mind
fading to the back like a long forgotten memory
I’ll stay quiet and watch the world go past.
I can’t fit the image people want
so i just disappear from their sight
I’ll just keep wishing from the side lines
out of sight, out of mind
you will never remember me

I can see it all change, while you laugh and talk and leave it all behind
watch a day go past and expect it to be the same
I’ll just watch and see as I fade away
you will take the lead and show the way, I will fall behind and be replaced
out of sight, out of mind
you will never remember me.

But someday I’ll change; I can tell you that
I will be the one that walks ahead
the one who has people clear the way.
People will see and notice me
and I will laugh it away
I’m in their sight, I’m in their minds
they will never forget me

I can make myself believe it will always be like this
happiness, and peace forever; eternal bliss
I can make myself believe, the little girl I used to be
will never exist

She will stay quiet and watch it go past
as she fades away
She will stay out of my sight, out of my mind
I will never remember her.
