I said I would try, I'm going back for you
You had your back to me, just like you always do
I looked in those eyes, you said, "Oh, baby, please
How can you do this to me? The one that's here for you?"
Pushing, pulling, tugging, now watch me walk away
You build me up just big enough, you thought I would stay
But I can't keep holding on to maybe
I could be the one to turn you 'round, but you played me
Please fade me out (out)
Do you regret that I'm gone?
I know you'll be sorry now (now)
I guess I knew all along
That I could never count on you to be there for me
Your word was nothing more than a made up story
Please fade me out (out)
Until I'm less than a memory (memory)
I waited for your call, for your words of ease
To make me feel complete, but they never came
You let me fall, I said, "Oh, baby, please?
How can you do this to me? Was it all a game?"
Pushing, pulling, tugging, now watch me walk away
You build me up just big enough, you thought I would stay
But I can't keep holding on to maybe
I could be the one to turn you 'round, but you played me
Please fade me out (out)
Do you regret that I'm gone?
I know you'll be sorry now (now)
I guess I knew all along
That I could never count on you to be there for me
Your word was nothing more than a made up story
Please fade me out (out)
Until I'm less than a memory
Fade (me), fade (me)
Fade me, fade me
Fade me out (out)
Oh
(Fade) all these memories
(Words) memories, flooding in and out
(Fade me) you said come back to me
(Fade me) back to me, we could work it out
(Fade me) that I'm the only one
(Out) only one who can make you proud
(Oh) this fire's dimming out
Ooh
Please fade me out (out)
Do you regret that I'm gone?
I know you'll be sorry (be sorry) now
I guess I knew all along
That I could never count on you to be there for me
Your word was nothing more than a made up story
Please fade me out
Until I'm less than a memory (memory. . .)
