You never take, take the time to really look,
Look at the one, the one I really am.
You try to fit, 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 color's gone like a picture nobody sees.

I 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.

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 and 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 don't wanna wait around, let you run my whole life down
So you can watch me fade away!

[GUITAR SOLO]

You try to fit, 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 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 and I'm not taking it too well.

I'm faded, hate it, slipping away as I disappear in the dark,
I'm faded, hate it, so far away from who I was at the start.
I'm faded, hate it, slipping away as I disappear in the dark,
I'm faded, hate it, so far away from who I was at the start.
