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
