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 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 colors 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

Till 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 colors gone
Like a picture nobody sees


Now I've faded
Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself

Yeah I'm faded
Into what you want
But 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'm not gonna wait around... let you run my whole life down
So you can watch me fade away


Faded, hate it, you try to fit...fit me in your perfect box [repeat]


You try to fit
To 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 colors gone

Like a picture nobody sees

Now I've faded

Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself
Yeah I'm faded

Into what you want
But I'm not taking it too well


I'm faded...hate it
Slippin' away as I disappear in the dark
I've faded...hate it

So far away from who I was at the start [repeat]
