Before I Fade Away

The night is quiet all around me, Like the world has gone to sleep. Every breath feels a little heavier, Like it's harder now to keep. I can hear the clock beside me counting down What I can't save. And every second feels like mercy I was never Brave enough to take. I spent my life running from the truth. Now it's standing here in front of me. This is the last prayer I whisper Before I fade away. Every word I never said to you, I'm finally trying to say. If mercy still remembers me, if grace is still Alive, Then hear me in this silence One last time. Whoa. Mm. I remember all the warnings, all the times I Turned my back. I thought I had forever waiting, But forever fades to black. I held onto my pride like armor, Like it could protect my soul. But now I see it only kept me from The place I should have known. Now I'm standing at the edge of time With nothing left but truth. Oh. This is the last prayer I whisper With trembling broken hands. Every sin I tried to bury deep, You already understand. If Heaven still is listening, if love can reach This far, Then find me in the darkness Where I am. Mm, where I am. Mm. I'm not asking for tomorrow. I'm not asking for my past. Just don't turn away from me Now I finally Ask. Oh-oh. This is the last prayer I whisper before My voice is gone. Every tear I never showed the world was calling You all along. If mercy is an ocean wide and grace can Still forgive, then take this broken man I Am, And let me live. The last prayer I whispered, Mm, Was your name.
