Lyrics
Fade
I know you feel that life has let you down
You expected so much more
You thought that you could just fool around
And, later, even up the score
Now, disappointment's showing in your eyes
You think you got an unfair deal
You believe things happen randomly
And you refuse to see that's just not real?
Ooh, Ooh darling
Step into the light
Come out of the shade
Ooh, ooh darling
Are you so afraid
Your colors will fade?
Why are you so invested
In your self-inflicted pain?
The sun is shining in the sky
And you're worried it will rain
You know all that negativity
Just keeps you and me apart
You really have no good reason to fear
What's inside your heart
You're afraid that if you let go
You'll be surrendering yourself to me
But, my darling, it's just not so
If you let go, you're gonna set yourself free
Ooh, Ooh darling
Step into the light
Come out of the shade
Ooh, ooh darling
Are you so afraid
Your colors will fade?
Still, I'm trying so hard to reach you
'Cause I know how much love we could share
But, I'm not here to teach you
Ah, it's up to you darling to meet me there
Ooh, Ooh darling
Step into the light
Come out of the shade
Ooh, ooh darling
Are you so afraid
Your colors will fade?
Ooh, ooh darling
Your fear of the light
Keeps you in the shade
Ooh, ooh darling
Why are you afraid
Your colors will fade?
Why are you so afraid
Your colors will fade?
