[Verse] I built a bridge you burned it twice Watched you dance on thin cracked ice You said you'd stay but you never fight And now the stars are falling [Prechorus] Every time I try to hold the sky You let it slip like it’s nothing Why [Chorus] Don’t cry when I fade away I’m not coming back No I won’t stay You’re on your own when I fade away You’re on your own [Verse 2] I gave you time you threw it out Spoke in whispers then you’d shout Your love’s a maze with no way out And now I’m lost in orbit [Prechorus] Every time I try to pull you close You disappear like a fading ghost [Chorus] Don’t cry when I fade away I’m not coming back No I won’t stay You’re on your own when I fade away You’re on your own
