Fade

In the dead of the night when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten you'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right this is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade
You said you like the guy with dreams and goals
You were tired of the men who had sold their souls
Following the fold  but that's not true
Following the gold  that's more like you
Now a chance to escape from all of that life
Cause you want to escape from all of that right
Here's your chance but I warned you well in advance
Still you decide to try your shot at changin faces
I'll tell you right now lady that you know we're going places
It's a wild ride so please girl hold on
Take my hand now girl and we can't go wrong
Hope you realize chasing dreams ain't easy
They'll be times when you can't find but eed me
Too much of your life's planned
Let's just wing it life's a game
And I'm begging you to bring it right here (right here)
I know (I know) that there's too much too lose
It's a wake up call girl  but you're still hitting snooze
You say "give up" too quickly and I don't know why
But I know will miss me when you lie awake and cry
In the dead of the night when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten you'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right this is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade
I told you that I wanna be a music man
You said "alright baby what's your back up plan "
I wonder why that's the first place you go
You could have a little faith girl  you know
I know this dream could be a long shot
But you could show some support and what not
Finally finance I turn and say
Made it up  its what her daddy does anyway
I feel bad how I am forced to lie
Sometimes your dreams need an alabi
Clearly that's an answer she likes to hear
She grabs my face and whispers something in my ear:
"you're gonna be a great man one day "
Yeah maybe I'll get mine someday
Rather leave and not lie
It ain't right but now you're stuck right here girl
In the dead of the night when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten you'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right this is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade
Thinkin where I was back when I wrote this
Now I know that you probably run around
And quote this  focus
Maybe you could find yourself a lesson
Instead of feelin sorry for yourself and second guessin
The shoulda  coulda  wouldas
Is where you've gone wrong
You were prayin I'd fail
Now look what I'm on
Couldn't stay long cause I felt purpose
But back then I only felt worthless
Yeah  I guess you kinda deserve this
In the dead of the night when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday
When it's forgotten you'll wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right this is my life I can't wait
In the dead of the night when I'm awake
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday when it's
Forgotten do you wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right this is my life
I can't wait so watch us fade
In the dead of the night
I told you girl that you could watch us fade
I'm tryna be right  this is my life I can't wait
So watch us fade
