You Are Fading Lyrics

For me its about someone watching another fall to sleep. To him she is like an angel, perfect. And he knows that he will only let her down, as he did to others in the past. He knows she is waiting for him to be what she deserves, but by being with him she is slowly fading, as he is causing her to be unhappy.
