Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You say you love me

But they feel like words to me

Well, this just ain't working

Stop thinking you can run over me

I'm drifting, I'm settling

Off to a foreign place

If I can't see what's in front of me

It's a mystery, well, then apparently

[PreChorus]

Things just ain't the same

And I'm ready for change

Go on, be gone

Bye bye, so long

[Chorus]

Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading, fa-a-ading away?

Away, away, away

I opened up my eyes and I finally realize

Today, today, it's too late, you're fading away

[Verse 2]

Put a sock in it, just stop running your mouth

Got my mind made up, I ain't coming back again

No way, no way, no way, no way

'Cause I'm so fed up, boy, you got me messed up

If we hookin' back up, don't press your luck today, today

I'm blowing you away

[PreChorus]

Things just ain't the same

And I'm ready for change

Go on, be gone

Ta-ta, so long

[Chorus]

Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading, fa-a-ading away?

Away, away, away

I opened up my eyes and I finally realize

Today, today, it's too late, you're fading away

[Bridge]

Saw you turned into a ghost right in front of my eyes

Tell me, what's a girl to do when she's crying inside?

I'm about to go insane, I'm jumping off this train

Whether wrong or right, I'll be gone by night

[Chorus]

Can't you see that you're fading, fading, fading, fa-a-ading away?

Away, away, away

I opened up my eyes and I finally realize

Today, today, it's too late, you're fading away
