Dana Fuchs Fading Away Lyrics

Oh misguided soul You say you're not like every other so and so You like to think you know Just how far everything should go and so

You never really try To reach the bottom that you buried alive inside So your story goes A shallow river but it flows and flows

You almost made it You got so jaded along the way You almost made it but your heart couldn't take it When you gave it away And now you're fading away

You said that time's so cruel Still lickin' wounds that it left on you Too many scars to care No time to heal 'em then why so much to spare
The times that hurt so bad You look back on them and long for what we had Oh what a hand to play But you took the cards and threw them away

Chorus

Oh what lucky break Nobody watched you make a single mistake You get to keep your pride But I get to watch it eat you alive

Chorus
