I still remember the first time That we met So many things ____ I'd love to forget I guess I should've learned The first time that I got burned Your kind of love is overrated 'Cause every night I spend with you I turn a lighter shade of blue And now I'm faded I must've lost at least ten years of my life Those cruel and hurtful things you did girl Cut me like a knife I try to bare and grin But my fabric's wearin' thin Hell it's no wonder why I'm jaded 'Cause every night I spend with you I turn a lighter shade of blue And now I'm faded I'm faded like an old pair of jeans I know I ain't lookin' all that good But after all you put me through I might be faded, but at least I'm through with you You call me on the phone And say I'd best get home But I'd rather be incarcerated 'Cause every night I spend with you I turn a lighter shade of blue And now I'm faded Every night I spend with you I turn a lighter shade of blue And now I'm faded Now I'm faded Now I'm faded
