Disappear Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I begged and if I cried
Would it change the sky tonight?
Would it give me some light?
Should I wait for you to call?
Is there any hope at all?
Are you driftin' by?


[Chorus]
When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share with you
I try to reach you, I can almost feel you
You're nearly here and then
You disappear (Disappear, disappear, disappear)
You disappear (Disappear, disappear, disappear)

[Verse 2]
And when I lie all by myself
I see your face, I hear your voice
My heart stays faithful
And time has come and time has passed
If it's good, it's got to last
It feels so right
[Chorus]
When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share with you
I try to reach you, I can almost feel you
You're nearly here and then
You disappear (Disappear, disappear, disappear)
You disappear (Disappear, disappear, disappear)
You, you disappear (Disappear, disappear, disappear)
You disappear

[Bridge]
I missed all the signs, one at a time
You were ready
What did I know? Starting our lives
Now my love, I'm ready to show

[Chorus]
When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share with you
I try to reach you, I can almost feel you
You're nearly here and then
You disappear
You disappear
You disappear
You disappear
Disappear

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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Disappear” is another ballad track off of the first side of I Am… Sasha Fierce. Written in London by Knowles alongside Amanda Ghost, it talks about a lover slowly drifting away until they’re completely gone. It’s complimented by Beyoncé’s own unique vocal layering and harmonies. “Disappear” has the distinction of being the only song (excluding bonus tracks) from the album that was never performed live at any point during the promotion or live tour.
