Faded

 Faded 

I want you to know

Depending on who you are how I feel. 

Time is fleeting but feelings are forever

There was a man from Atlanta 

Maybe my first real anything 

But he wanted much more 

I wanted a moment 

So we faded away

There was a man from Miami

Who taught me things I’d never know

But he wanted the world

Far beyond he and I 

So he faded away

I want you to know

Depending on who you are how I feel. 

Time is fleeting but feelings are forever

And then the one from Baton Rouge 

Who opened the world up to me 

He didn’t want me only 

I wouldn’t be second 

And then he faded away 

What about the tidewater guy 

Who was totally wrong back then

 Everything I didn’t need 

To toxify my life 

And so we faded away 

I want you to know

Depending on who you are how I feel. 

Time is fleeting but feelings are forever

I gave you everything 

Every one of you

As much as I could

It wasn’t enough

Or it was too much 

Time I’ve wasted for you 

For Everyman I ever loved 

Who made me who I am today 

I love you for making me 

The man I am right now

Although you faded away. 

I want you to know

Depending on who you are how I feel. 

Time is fleeting but feelings are forever

I want you to know 

So we faded away

So he faded away

Depending who you are

And then he faded away

(How I feel)

And so we faded away 

Time is fleeting 

The man I am 

Faded away.
