It was beautiful, we were magical,
and I gave my heart to you.
You were everything,
now we're st-t-tuttering,1
both here waiting for the truth.
But we don't say much, we don't even touch,
we let pride get in the way.
And baby, we're faded 'cause we waited
and we let it slip away,
hesitated, didn't make it, and now
there's really nothin' left to say
'cause I know, you know we are faded.
I know, you know we are faded.
We're faded.
Like a little girl in the jaded world,
I'm holdin' on to memories
'cause my broken dreams are all that is left for me,
and I cannot pretend no more, no.
'Cause we don't say much, we don't even touch,
we let life get in the way.
And baby, we're faded 'cause we waited
and we let it slip away,
hesitated, didn't make it, and now
there's really nothin' left to say
'cause I know, you know we are faded.
I know, you know we are faded.
Maybe we're meant to be together,
but now it's too late to make forever.
The image of you and I is vanishin' in the night,
Baby, we're faded away,
away.
And baby, we're waitin' 'cause we waited
and we let it slip away,
hesitated, didn't make it, and now
there's really nothin' left to say
'cause I know, you know we are faded.
I know, you know we are faded.
Maybe we're meant to be together.
Now it's too late to make forever work.
The image of you and I is vanishin' in the night,
Baby, we're faded away, oh.
(We're faded).
(We're faded).
(We're faded).
