Forever to Fade

You've got me safely under your thumb I take my pleasure as it comes I try to tell you but I can't say It takes forever to fade away this way Some for the better, some for the worse I try and give you what you deserve You only hear me when you feel safe You hide in shadow and run away from pain Can I keep it together forever this way Hiding in shadow and running from pain Each day it's harder and harder to say I just keep it together day after day It takes forever to fade away this way
