Fading Out Slow

Verse 1

Pour the bottle out slow

My hands been shaking since the morning show

Nobody told me this would get so low

I keep a cup close just to make it through

Smile at the mirror

That guy don't look like me no more

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know who's left inside

Something in me quietly died

Chorus

I only feel right with a drink in my hand

I only feel right when I don't understand

Fading out slow

Fading out slow

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Fading out slow

(Oh-oh) I don't wanna know

Verse 2

Saw a kid swing first at a boy half his size

Saw his mother crying on the curb outside

How do you grow up gentle in a world that bites

I drink to forget the whole parade

I drink to pretend I'm not afraid

Somebody tell me how the strong survive

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know who's left inside

Something in me quietly died

Chorus

I only feel right with a drink in my hand

I only feel right when I don't understand

Fading out slow

Fading out slow

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Fading out slow

(Oh-oh) I don't wanna know

Bridge

Broken bones and bitter blame

My chest keeps a quiet flame

Numb it down numb it down

Till nothing has a name

Chorus

I only feel right with a drink in my hand

I only feel right when I don't understand

Fading out slow

Fading out slow

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Fading out slow

(Oh-oh) I don't wanna know
