Some days I wake up in a stranger’s room Familiar light, unfamiliar noon I know these hands, I just can’t say why The mirror looks like someone I used to know inside I lose the thread in the middle of a thought The words run off before they’re caught But there’s a voice that says my name And it sounds like home every time it’s said As I fade away, please stay If I forget the years, the days If my past starts slipping through the cracks Promise you won’t turn your back I’m still in here, I’m still me Even when my mind won’t let me be Hold me close, don’t look away As I fade away I see the fear hiding in your eyes When I ask the same thing for the fifth time I laugh it off, but I feel the truth I’m losing parts of me I gave to you I know I’m not the same as before I feel the lock, can’t find the door But love still lands when you touch my hand That’s how I know who I am As I fade away, please stay If I forget the years, the days If my past starts slipping through the cracks Promise you won’t turn your back I’m still in here, I’m still me Even when my mind won’t let me be Hold me close, don’t look away As I fade away If tomorrow I don’t know your face I’ll know the way your heart feels safe If my words fall short or disappear Read my love in the tears I can’t explain I may lose the story, the where and when But not the way you’ve always been As I fade away, please stay Say my name, don’t be afraid If the world goes dim around the edges Be my light in all the messes I’m still in here, I’m still me Listen close, you’ll hear me breathe Don’t say goodbye, just let me stay As I fade away If I ask who you are today Please don’t leave Just say my name
