These wicked games That we play When no one's there to see Your face You learn to live Behind a mask You never dare to peak inside Or take off for the rest I'm tired Tired and afraid Of what comes after your escape So cross it off As someone else's fate So you'll never fade away Erase your past But keep a reminder So you'll never fade You'll never fade You'll never fade away You'll never fade away I'll keep your secrets in my soul But don't expect me to let go Of all the plans we used to make It's a tired, old mistake To watch the tides hollow you out Your foundations left in doubt I'm tired Tired and afraid Of what comes after your escape So cross it off As someone else's fate So you'll never fade away Erase your past But keep a reminder So you'll never fade away You'll never fade away You'll never fade away I'm tired Tired and afraid Of what comes after your escape
