In your eyes a dark cloud
So much pain lies inside
If you were here I would have tried
To show you.
So many words left with no sound
I see through you but I can't find
If you were here I would have tried
To hold you.
Better burn than fade away
You couldn't run, you did not stay
And now alone I hear you say:
"Better burn than fade away, better burn than fade away".
In your voice a slight crack
It's like you knew there's no way back
If you were here I would have tried
To love you.
So many nights left with no sound
So every day I'm losing ground
If you were here I would have tried
To save you.
Better burn than fade away
You couldn't run, you did not stay
And now alone I hear you say:
"You better burn, you better burn,
You better burn, you better burn,
You better burn, you better burn,
than fade away".
