Permanent Fade

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Said I was your sunshine

Left me in the gray

Inked me on your skin

Did it sink in

What was the meaning of it

If you just washed me away

Tattooed my name like a promise

Now it's faded like the day

Pre-Chorus

Every line you drew

Every scar you kept

Told me I was permanent

Then you up and left

Chorus

Washed me away

Washed me away

Left me in the gray

Left me in the gray

Said I was your sunshine

Said I was your sunshine

But you washed me away

Washed me away

Verse 2

Permanent marker on your chest

Thought that meant something real

But ink don't hold a heart

When the pain don't heal

I traced your lies in blue

Counted every crooked line

Funny how the needles fade

But your ghost stays mine

Pre-Chorus

Every line you drew

Every scar you kept

Told me I was permanent

Then you up and left

Chorus

Washed me away

Washed me away

Left me in the gray

Left me in the gray

Said I was your sunshine

Said I was your sunshine

But you washed me away

Washed me away

Bridge

Sunday nights and faded blue

Your hands were everywhere

Now the ink is running off

And I'm still standing here

Shadows on the pavement

Cold floor underneath

You said forever one more time

Another crooked teeth

Chorus

Washed me away

Washed me away

Left me in the gray

Left me in the gray

Said I was your sunshine

Said I was your sunshine

But you washed me away

Washed me away

Outro

Said I was your sunshine

Mm

Left me in the gray
