fade lyrics

I know a way that you can
Stay away from me
It's easier than what you
Heard and what you see

I've been counting and what I keep
Isn't what you need, knowing what you need
Building sure-fire hearts into life-like ones

I can't complain, explain it's hard to be that way
I can be that way
I can't believe it's up to me to fade that way
I can fade that way
Reminding me I cannot stay

I think it's strange that you
Could change your mind for me
I only bought your line
Of thought that I could see

You've been counting on what I keep
Isn't what you need, knowing what you need
Building sure-fire hearts into life-like ones

Reminding me I can't stay alone
I don't know what you mean

I know I've finally worked it out
I can be that way, I can be that way
I know I've asked is this all true
I can fade that way, I can fade that way
