Kate DeAraugo Album

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 a perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's gone
Like a picture nobody sees

I'll bet you don't
Don't even know my favourite 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

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's 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 takin' 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, Faded)
You try to fit
Fit me in your perfect box

(Faded, Faded)
You try to fit
Fit me in your perfect box

You try to fit
Fit me in a perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's 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 takin' it too well

I Faded
(Faded, hated, slippin' away as I disappear in the dark)
I Faded
(Faded, hated, so far away from who I was at the start)

Faded, hated, slippin' away as I disappear in the dark

I've been holding on, to a love gone wrong it's true, for too long
The hurt it left inside, has made me wanna hide too much and I do
I'm not afraid to be alone; the truth is I'm alright
But something has been missing from my life

[CHORUS:]
And maybe tonight
Maybe I'll fall
Maybe he'll crash through my walls
Maybe at last, love will come back, and take me deep into its arms
Maybe the heart that comes apart finally mends
Maybe tonight I'll finally fall in love again

Cried a lot of tears, faced a lot fears to get, right here
Every chapter ends, before the right one can begin again, in the story of love

[CHORUS:]
And maybe tonight
Maybe I'll fall
Maybe he'll crash through my walls
Maybe at last, love will come back, and take me deep into its arms
Maybe the heart that comes apart finally mends
Maybe tonight I'll finally fall in love again

I'm ready for another chance, and right now that's enough
I know I will survive what ever comes

Maybe tonight
Maybe I'll fall
Maybe he'll crash through my walls
Maybe at last, love will come back, and take me deep into its arms
Maybe the heart that comes apart will finally mend
Maybe this time, I'm gonna find love that never ends
(Maybe tonight) I'll finally fall in love again
(Maybe tonight) I'll finally fall in love again

Oh - thinkin' about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

[CHORUS:]
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And lovin' is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when you're feelin' down

Now nothin' can change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I can say
Just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

[CHORUS:]
N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And lovin' is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've been waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standin' there by you

[CHORUS:]
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And lovin' is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Ohh, Ahh..

Don't know what I believe
Right or wrong's not clear to see
Cos each time the wind blows, there's a storm
I'm holding back, standing proud
So secure yet lost in doubt
Still I don't know where we belong

I wanna hear you say that you'll be there for me
I wanna hear you say you care

Chorus:
I gave you love, I gave you time
Gave you what you asked, don't that mean something
Cos my world stands still, when you're not there
Just let me know, if you feel the same
All's said and done, did our love mean nothing
My world stands still when you don't care
There's a choice, in front of me

To keep you close or set you free
I can't bear to throw it all away (you can)
Choose to stay or choose to leave
But don't forget how it used to be
I'm not gonna be the one you blame
I wanna hear you say that you'll be there for me
I wanna hear you say that you care

Chorus

I tell myself you need me but I know it aint the truth
Cos what's the point in going on, if I can't love you
I'm waking up without you by my side
I'm holding onto something, can't you even try
To give me an answer coz I can't let you go

I fall in love in just one day
It's always been that way
I pull you in, spit you out
It's what I'm about
Everytime

Here I go, on my own
Sayin' goodbye again

[CHORUS:]
I don't mind, bein' alone
I don't mind, fleein' from home
I don't mind, bein' alone
Hell, baby, you shooda known..
That I'm famous for leaving
It gets harder every time
Who could know I'm famous for leaving?
But it's different this time
Different this time

I like the way you frustrate me
It must be what I need
You have a way of pushin' through
Whatever I throw at you
Anytime

Here I go, on my own
Sayin' goodbye again

[CHORUS:]
I don't mind, bein' alone
I don't mind, fleein' from home
I don't mind, bein' alone
Hell, baby, you shooda known..
That I'm famous for leaving
It gets harder every time
You know I'm famous for leaving
But it's different this time

So right
You are, so right
It's gonna be alright, alright
So right
It's gonna be alright

Here I go, here I go
Here I go again

I don't mind, bein' alone
I don't mind, fleein' from home
I don't mind, bein' alone
Hell, baby, you shooda known..
That I'm famous for leaving
Heyyy..

[CHORUS:]
I don't mind, bein' alone
I don't mind, fleein' from home
I don't mind, bein' alone
Hell, baby, you shooda known..
That I'm famous for leaving
It gets harder every time
You know I'm famous for leaving
But it's different this time
But it's different this time

I don't mind
Here I go, here I go
Here I go again
Here I go, here I go

If this is love
Then I will be leaving
Run so fast, run so far
So far from where you are

If this is love
My heart will be bleeding
'Cause bein' loved's like bein' drowned
I get so turned around
It's too much..

[CHORUS:]
How will I know?
How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?
Like love - the life that steals my sight
I never beg
Don't wanna cry
Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure
It's gonna hurt if this is love

So this is us
Not quite like I had in mind
Love is never like the movies
You're not blue, and I'm too moody

If this is love
My eyes will be breathin'
From so much joy, so much pain
Until they seem to say
There'll be change..

[CHORUS:]
How will I know?
How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?
Like love - the life that steals my sight
I never beg
Don't wanna cry
Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure
It's gonna hurt if this is love

Then your smile comes slowly stealin'
Takes me where you are
It lofted like a crash of thunder, that breaks through my heart
I just can't remember what my life was like before
Told me what my heart is for..

How will I know?
How will I see?

[CHORUS:]
How will I know?
How will I see, this feelin' washin' over me?
Like love - the life that steals my sight
I never beg
Don't wanna cry
Spend all my nights just wonderin' why I feel so sure
It's gonna hurt if this is love

If this is love

See the girly in the corner over there?
She's a freak show, betcha didn't know
See the way she likes to flick her own blonde hair
And her eyes bat, her momma told her that

She's got a little box of secrets she won't share
Unless you love her, really love her
Like how she keeps so thin and why she's always scared
Why she cries, why she tells so many lies

[CHORUS:]
She don't wanna be anywhere else
If she did she'd (Go)
But it's all she (Knows)
She's a victim
Lovin' and hatin' herself
Likes to over (Do)
Ain't no big thing, she's a victim

She's a victim

See the cute boy in the other corner?
She's gonna zero in, make a mess of him
In a year he's gonna cry, she's so unfair
How she hurt him, how she worked him

He's a liar, 'cause he knew it all along
It's not the first time, just the worst time
He won't admit the fact that victims turn him on
Daddy please, won't you come and rescue me?

[CHORUS:]
She don't wanna be anywhere else
If she did she'd (Go)
But it's all she (Knows)
She's a victim
Lovin' and hatin' herself
Likes to over (Do)
Ain't no big thing, she's a victim

She's so pretty and, hard to understand
Ain't it perfect that she cannot be without a man?
This ain't just a fad
You should see it's such a rush, when they touch
They both all hurt so much

All she really wants deep down is to be loved
But lovin' her's never enough

[CHORUS:]
She don't wanna be anywhere else
If she did she'd (Go)
But it's all she (Knows)
She's a victim
Lovin' and hatin' herself
Likes to over (Do)
Ain't no big thing, she's a victim

She don't wanna be anywhere else
If she did she'd (Go)
But it's all she (Knows)
She's a victim
Lovin' and hatin' herself
Likes to over (Do)
She's just kicked him, now she's flicked him

Mmm..
She puts her jacket on
Walks through the door once more
To her surprise it seems
This time, she's lost for words
He's on her mind again

She walks five blocks to work
It's cold this time of year
But she don't mind the cold
'Cause she is thinkin' of him, baby, baby
He's on her mind again

And all the way from talkin' on the phone
To the way I always carry on
When I'm with you

[CHORUS:]
Baby what I feel for you (Baby)
It's obvious (It's obvious)
And baby, everytime I'm lookin' at you (Lookin' at you, baby)
It's obvious ('Bout the way I feel for you)

He opened up to love, in spite of everything
First thought of every 'morn, it's always been the same
She's on his mind again
And from the little cafe outside her work
He sits and with a smile, he know's he's hurt

[CHORUS:]
Baby what I feel for you (What I feel for you, baby)
It's obvious (Obvious, you know, you know)
And baby, everytime I'm lookin' at you (Baby, everytime)
It's obvious (Obvious, Baby you know)

[CHORUS:]
Baby what I feel for you (What I feel for you, baby)
It's obvious (You know I feel for you)
And baby, everytime I'm lookin' at you (Baby, you know)
It's obvious ('Bout the way I feel, for you)

You light the fire within my heart
Boy you know you do
Every single time that you touch me
Boy I feel it too
I feel for you

[CHORUS:]
Baby what I feel for you (Ohhh.. Oh.. Oh...)
It's obvious (Obvious, you know)
And baby, everytime I'm lookin' at you (Baby)
It's obvious (You know, ohh..)

[CHORUS:]
Baby what I feel for you (What I feel for you)
It's obvious (Oh, ohh..)
And baby, everytime I'm lookin' at you

Yeah, yeah
Mmm.. Mmmmmm...

A desperate man with desperate eyes
Shouldn't come as no surprise
We're livin' in a world where you can't trust no one, oh
We hide from the life we lead
But it's you and I that plant the seed

Broken wife from a broken home
So now these days, she lives alone
Packed her clothes, and wore dignity as she went walkin' out
And it's folks like this that I can see
Such a newborn touch of clarity

[CHORUS:]
'Cause you, you brought the sunshine
You change my whole life
You showed me love the way it's supposed to be (Supposed to be)
And you made me see
And you, you gave me rainbows
You showed me all you know, about love
You brought the sun, sunshine on me

Now every hour of every day
I heed this truth, never walk away, oh
Cause it's love, and only love alone
Gonna make a change, better make our own
So I reach out to the world, my friend
And I breathe in when the day begins

[CHORUS:]
Because you, you brought the sunshine
You change my whole life
You showed me love the way that it's supposed to be
And you made me see
And you, you gave me rainbows
You showed me all you know, about love
You brought the sun, sunshine to me

Baby, babe

I woke up and your name was on my list, just like it always is
And the distance is becoming like a plague
Guess I'm used to it
Oh I should know, what never was, can never come again

[CHORUS:]
But I remember you, like a tattoo on my skin
Like a never ending question, that burns inside my head
It's a story that was over, before it could begin
The most beautiful place, I've never been

I turn the page, but I just can't close the door, it's just a simple truth
I could say, "You don't hurt me anymore"
But I'd be lying to you
Oh, just because, it never was, doesn't mean it has to end

[CHORUS:]
But I remember you, like a tattoo on my skin
Like a never ending question, that burns inside my head
It's a story that was over, before it could begin
The most beautiful place, I've never been

And you already had my heart
Wasn't there something there?
That's just the way I remember it
At least the way I remember it

Just the smallest little thing, and I'm right back there again
It's the story that was over, before it could begin
The most beautiful place, I've never been
The most beautiful place, I've never been
