Faded Lyrics

I walk these city streets alone

I know it's valleys like my fingerprints

Winding roads I try pretend

That I won't end down those again

His house is made of bricks and mortar

But it's built of misty memories and feelings that are not my own

I can almost see a face

I close my eyes, can't quite erase the morning after, no

Now I'm here but faded

And I don't know who I've been

Cause you took me out of me

Can't help be jaded

When you've seen what can't been seen

When you've felt it from within

I've felt it from within

I've felt it from within

Don't know if I am ready

If I can really tell this tale

I can hold it on my own

No others burden from my jail

I was stupid, I was young

I did not know what would become

Of little girls who wanted it all

Though birds seem free up high

They can't escape what is inside

Now I'm here but faded.

And I don't know who I've been

Cause you took me out of me

Can't help be jaded when you've seen what can't been seen

When you've felt it from within

Caus' we're not perfect people; we can bruise, we can deny

When past bleeds into future, then the future will decide

We're not perfect people, but we can choose; we can defy

The past is carved in granite, but tomorrow testifies

We're here, and we're jaded

But we made out okay

We will walk another day
