I Let You Fade

Em
Parking lot light buzzing over our 
heads
C
Rain on the windshield, blurring 
what you said
G
You sighed: I can't keep bleeding 
for two
D
Hands in your pockets, eyes straight
 through

Em
Key fob shaking in my stupid hand
C
Mouth full of words that would not 
land
G
You turned away with your jaw locked
 tight
D
Tail lights cut a line through the 
night

C
I still taste that night every time 
I breathe
D
All the soft lies stuck behind my 
teeth
Em
One slammed door and the world 
rearranged
D
Now every heartbeat sounds like your
 name

C
I'm still trapped in the night you 
said: Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, but I couldn't 
breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I
 made
Em
I let you fade

C
Every road that I take still screams
 your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I
 made
D
I let you fade

Em
Your coffee cup's still stained on 
my desk
C
Lip print there like a closing 
threat
G
I wear your shirt when the nights 
get loud
D
Then rip it off when I think too 
proud

Em
Friends say: Man, you gotta let it 
go
C
But they weren't there in that 
yellow glow
G
When you stared through me like I 
wasn't there
D
Every promise hanging thin in the 
air

C
I still taste that night every time 
I breathe
D
All the sharp truths hiding under my
 teeth
Em
One small word might have changed 
your mind
D
Now I chew on every line I left 
behind

C
I'm still trapped in the night you 
said: Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, but I couldn't 
breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I
 made
Em
I let you fade

C
Every road that I take still screams
 your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I
 made
D
I let you fade

Em
I've punched walls just to feel 
something crack
C
Blamed the mirror, blamed the pills,
 blamed the lack
G
Turned my chest into a war I can't 
win
D
Every kick drum beating where you've
 been

Em
But I can't stay parked in that 
scene on repeat
C
Living tied down to an empty seat
G
If you called right now, I'd still 
hesitate
D
'Cause I finally see what I did when
 I watched you

C
I'm not stuck in the night you said:
 Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, and I finally 
breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I
 change
Em
I won't let you fade

C
Every road that I take won't wear 
your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the weight I
 trade
D
I won't let me fade
Em
I won't let me fade
