Fade

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
