Fade To Black

Stop telling me to breathe
I already know that it's good for me
But I've got restless legs and a wild heart
At my best when I fall apart
So stop telling me to breathe

Now would you stop telling me to run
You know full and well that the race is done
And I got so damned close then I lost my mind
Half a step from finish line
But stop telling me to run

Now I'm halfway there
But I'm halfway home
I am the rock and the hard place
The rolling stone
Is it too much to ask
To be left alone
Or must I cross my T's and dot my I's
Cross my heart and hope to die

Whoa oh. I, I fade to black
Whoa oh. Ain't no turning back

Would you stop telling me to care
You already know that I wouldn't dare
And I'm not so sure that if I tried
You'd deserve being by my side
So stop telling me to care

And would you stop telling me to pray
You know that's no good to me nowadays
Cause I sold my soul for a song and dance
Half a smile and a fleeting glance
So stop telling me to pray

Now I'm halfway there
But I'm halfway home
I am the rock and the hard place
The rolling stone
Is it too much to ask
To be left alone
Or must I cross my T's and dot my I's
Cross my heart and hope to die

Whoa oh. I, I fade to black
Whoa oh. Ain't no turning back

I am the rock and the hard place
The rolling stone

Whoa oh. I, I fade to black
Whoa oh. Ain't no turning back
Whoa oh. I, I fade to black
Baby, baby, baby
