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 a 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 color's 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 'til I'm not there
('Til 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 color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees
Now I've faded like I never was
'Til I don't even know myself
Yeah, I'm faded into what you want
But I'm not takin' 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, hated)
You tried to fit, to fit me in a perfect box
(Faded, hated)
You tried to fit, to fit me in a perfect box
You tried to fit, to fit me in a perfect box
(Faded, hated)
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 color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees
Yeah, I'm faded like I never was
'Til I don't even know myself
Yeah, I'm faded into what you want
But I'm not takin' it too well
Now I'm faded!
