Fade Into The Background Lyrics

[Intro]
Damn

[Verse 1]
She looks so good in that white dress
At the far end of the aisle

Standing where I should be standing
Some other man, on his face, there's a smile
I just walked in sat down silent
I stood outside for awhile
Wondering why did I come here
Face it, you messed up and now
She's with somebody else
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background


[Verse 2]
Such a lovely reception
I sat here sipping Rosé
Then we catch eyes for a second
Both of us smile then quickly look away

It's funny, you don't know what you got (It's funny you don't)
'Til you ain't got it no more
Put down my glass, grab the bottle
I throw it back and I shout, "She with somebody else," mm
[Chorus]
And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background
Oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh), oh-oh (Oh)
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background


[Bridge]
Sure hate to fade into the background
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-woah, woah-woah
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh
She with somebody else, yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background
Oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh), oh-oh (Oh)
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
