Fade For You

[Verse 1] I was born pink and perfect in a pencil case Sharp corners, clean slate, brand new face They said I’d help you make it right But every time I did, I got smaller inside [Pre-Chorus] I don’t complain, I just do my part Turn your wrongs into paper scars [Chorus - emotional, musical build] I’m an eraser, baby, I fade for you Every mistake costs me something too You get cleaner lines, I get thinner days I disappear so you can stay [[Verse 2 - slightly faster and more intense] I’ve seen names crossed out, plans revised Letters softened, truths disguised You press me down like I don’t feel Like being useful makes this real [Pre-Chorus - slow, dramatic] I leave my dust where I used to be Little ghosts of what you needed from me [Chorus emotional, musical build] I’m an eraser, baby, I fade for you Every second chance cuts me in two You move on, I get rubbed away I’m proof that fixing things has a price to pay [Bridge - sad, resigned] One day I’m just loose in your backpack Worn down past the point of coming back No anger left, no will to fight Just doing my job one last time [Final Chorus - heroic, cold, bitter] I’m an eraser, I knew the deal I was born to die, not to be healed If being useful means I’m erased Then remember me for what I helped you save [Outro - extremely tragic, slower] But you don’t remember my name anymore I was just something you used Left behind in the bottom drawer You don’t reach for me now There’s nothing left I can do I erased every doubt you had And it erased me too No ceremony when I’m gone No credits, no refrain You kept the page that mattered And I was what you erased
