Faded

(album: Everlife - 2004)

You never take
Take the time to really look
Look at the one
The one I really am

You try to fit
To fit me in your perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colors gone
Like a picture nobody sees

I'll bet you don't
Don't even know my favorite song
You tell me how
How I should wear my hair

You wanna change
Everything I ever was
Try to erase me
Till I'm not there

Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colors gone
Like a picture nobody sees

Now I've faded
Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself
Yeah I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not taking it too well

I don't wanna be your little picture-perfect pretty girl
Who's got nothing to say

I'm not gonna wait around... let you run my whole life down
So you can watch me fade away

Faded, hate it, you try to fit...fit me in your perfect box [repeat]

You try to fit
To fit me in your perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colors gone
Like a picture nobody sees

Now I've faded
Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself
Yeah I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not taking it too well

I'm faded...hate it
Slipping away as I disappear in the dark
I've faded...hate it
So far away from who I was at the start [repeat]
