Jewel - Fading lyrics
[Jewel - Fading lyrics]
I'm staring in the mirror
Florescent lights are bright
It makes the lines clearer
Where did the angel go?
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
Traded my wings in for a string of pearls
And the string is all I've left
The light bulbs buzz someone's in the stall
Big white, brick wall makes me feel small
And I take my shirt off
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
Peel back the concrete
Hope there's something natural left
'Cause, I am fading
I am fading, I am fading away i am fading
Just like fairy tales and a hero loses faith
I am fading
The air smells like urine
It's getting hard to breathe
I could walk out that door
But no one ever really leaves
And I take my clothing off
Trying not to forget
Stupid things like the color of rain
And the smell of stone when it's wet
I am fading
I am fading, I am, I'm fading away
I am fading just like fairy tales
And a hero loses faith
And I am naked in the mirror
With a feather in my hand
The lady comes out of the bathroom
Screaming, "Oh, Jesus"
She couldn't understand but, I ask her
"Hey, what happens to us
When we get old and in the way?"
I guess she answered me
'Cause they they took me away
And I am fading
I am fading, I am, I'm fading away
I am fading just like fairy tales
And a hero loses faith and I don't know how
And I don't know when
Don't know when I forgot
Hope I'll remember again i am fading away
I am fading
