Well, it's not that I don't love you
I just love you too much
To keep this thing goin'
So I'm givin' up

She's all that you wanted
And you're settlin' down
But I've always been troubled and I know it
So I'm bowin' out

Just sweep me under the rug
Shut the door in my face
I won't blame you at all
It's what I want for you, babe

I'll make it really easy to forget
And when I'm gone, you can pretend we never met
Maybe if I loved you less, I'd find a way to stay
But I can't, so I'll just fade

I'll crawl to the shadows
I'll turn into dust
If that makes you happy, I'll do it
Yeah, I'll do it, I'll do it for us

Just burn the letters I wrote
And throw my clothes off a cliff
All I need you to know
Is I won't hate you for this

I'll make it really easy to forget
And when I'm gone, you can pretend we never met
Maybe if I loved you less, I'd find a way to stay
But I can't, so I'll just fade

I'll make it really easy lettin' go
I'm gonna disappear before you even know
Maybe if I loved you less, I'd find a way to stay
But I can't, so I'll just fade

If that's what you need me to do, I'll fade for you
If that's what you need me to do, I'll fade for you
If that's what you need me to do
That's what you need me to do
If that's what you need me to do, I'll fade for you

I'll make it really easy to forget
And when I'm gone, you can pretend we never met
Maybe if I loved you less, I'd find a way to stay
But I can't so I'll just fade

I will fade for you
If that's what you need me to do

Bert, come on, get off the
