He left them just in time,
the time when they needed him most.
1987, no future or direction.
What all did they do to make him wanna go away?
What else did they say to make him wanna stay?

Please, don't leave!
You're killing us.
Please, don't stay!
Just go away!

One by one, we'll slowly fade away.
One by one, we'll fade away.

But in the end we'll see what we did wrong
and in the end we'll find out what makes us strong.
All the things you'll ever do or say,
those memories will haunt you everyday.

One by one, we'll slowly fade away.
One by one, we'll fade away.

One by one!
One by one!

Fade away, one day we'll all fade away!
Fade away, one day we'll all fade away!
Fade away, one day we'll all fade away!
Fade away, one day we'll all fade away!
