Fading out

I used to know how to talk to people.

Now I just...

don't.

I'm fading out.

I used to walk in a room and know what to say

Now I'm standing in the corner hoping nobody stays

I used to laugh at the jokes,

used to carry the talk

Now I'm nodding my head and watching the clock

I don't know when I got quiet,

don't know when I got cold

But somewhere in the dark I forgot how to hold

A conversation, a moment,

a look in the eye

Now every hello feels like I'm saying goodbye

I'm fading out,

I'm fading out

The person I was ain't the person around

I don't know how to reach you,

don't know how to stay

I'm forgetting the words that I used to say

Fading out,

fading out I'm here but I'm not,

I'm lost in the crowd

Fading out,

fading out I used to be loud,

now I don't make a sound

Fading out,

fading out I'm watching myself slip away from the ground

Fading out,

fading out

I'm forgetting how to be around

I don't answer my phone,

don't reply to the texts Don't show up to the things that

I used to not miss People ask if I'm okay,

I say "yeah, I'm fine"

But I don't even know what I mean by that line

I used to have a voice,

used to know what I thought

Now I'm sitting in silence with the door always locked

Not 'cause I don't love 'em,

not 'cause I don't care

But 'cause I don't know how to be there.

I'm fading out, I'm fading out The person I was ain't the

person around I don't know how to reach you,

don't know how to stay

I'm forgetting the words that I used to say

Fading out,

fading out I'm here but I'm not,

I'm lost in the crowd

Fading out,

fading out I used to be loud,

now I don't make a sound

Fading out,

fading out I'm watching myself slip away from the ground

Fading out,

fading out

I'm forgetting how to be around

I tried to talk today,

tried to make a connection But the words came out wrong and

I felt the rejection Before it even happened,

before it was real

I already decided how they were gonna feel So I pulled back

fast, said "never mind,

it's cool" And I walked away slow like I always do

And I wonder if they notice,

if they see me slip Or if I've been fading out so

long they forgot I exist

Fading out,

fading out I'm here but I'm not,

I'm lost in the crowd

Fading out,

fading out I used to be loud,

now I don't make a sound

Fading out,

fading out I'm watching myself slip away from the ground

Fading out,

fading out I'm forgetting how to be around

I'm still here. I just don't know how to show it.

I'm fading out.
