I'm Gonna Fade Away Lyrics

The road has a way of making you small
no one out here knows my name at all
can't sit still but I won't move on
but don't look for me I'll soon be gone

chorus:
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away

Landscape filled with prying eyes
but that should come as no surprise
so I'm out here for all to see
come and get your last good look at me

I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away

Dust that settles has a story to tell
and it's a story that I know well

But goodbye Angeline and goodbye Annabelle
Oh I truly wish you well
there's nothing here for me anymore
except my name carved in your floor

I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
