Fade Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take a little of my cold heart
Swap the pieces for a spare part
Fade away, away, away, away
You've been running 'round the whole town
In that pretty little ball gown
Fade away, away, away, away
Oh, fade away, away, away, away

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I, I've heard it all before
And I'm not listening anymore
I'm not listening anymore
No, no, no, no, no
And you, you'll fight another storm
I won't be there to keep you warm
I won't be there to keep you warm

[Chorus]
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me
Said you'd try and save me
Well, I won't fight for you no more
No more, no more
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me, no, no, no
Well, try and save me
'Cause I won't fight for you no more
[Verse 2]
Never tired of this old town
Take a picture, let the background
Fade away, away, away, away
She's my high before my come down
Silver devil with her tongue out
Fade away, away, away, away
Oh, fade away, away, away, away

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I, I've heard it all before
And I'm not listening anymore
I'm not listening anymore
No, no, no, no, no
And you, you'll fight another storm
I won't be there to keep you warm
I won't be there to keep you warm, no, no

[Chorus]
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me
Said you'd try and save me
Well I won't fight for you no more
No more, no more
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me, no, no, no
Well, try and save me
'Cause I won't fight for you no more
[Bridge]
'Cause I, I, I, I
I don't need your love no more
No, I don't need, no, I don't need your love
No, I, I, I, I
I don't need your love no more
No, I don't need, no, I don't need

[Chorus]
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me
Said you'd try and save me
Well I won't fight for you no more
No more, no more
'Cause you betrayed me
You went ahead and played me, no, no, no
Well, try and save me
'Cause I won't fight for you no more

[Outro]
Take a little of my cold heart
Swap the pieces for a spare part
Fade away, away, away, away
