lyrics
I know it's crazy, nothing's changed; the way I feel, still the same.
After all this time I thought you'd go; you're not welcome here, you know.
But you refuse to leave, you're always here with me: a memory.
Why won't you fade away, I wish you'd fade away.
I'd like to run, travel so far, but no matter where I roam there you are.
How can I erase? or forget? You're not with me now, and yet
You, you linger on, and I'll never move on until you're gone
Why won't you fade away, oh I wish you'd fade away
Tell me, tell me what's it gonna take? To be rid of him to be free I can't wait, ohhh
You, you just won't leave, always haunting me: your memoryWhy won't you fade away, I wish you'd fade away
Supposed to be that time will heal, but you stay.
No matter what I do or say you just won't fade
and I want you still, I can't wait until the day when you fade away...

Rhea Makiaris's dulcet sounds transport her listeners back to a golden age of music, when all a performer needed to
entertain was a guitar and an exceptional voice.
She is a self-taught riot of a minstrel with a natural ear for music, knack for picking up instruments, and a honey voice....more
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.
