If it seems to you that I am fading Every time I try to talk to you The words I'm speaking distort the view And then I end up thinkin' what can I do Now you're slippin' away for a new Always hoping that the day will come When I can face it, won't have to run When all there has been is yet to come When I don't hide my face from the sun, and I know it's myself it's not you I can see everything, it's all in your smile that brings All of the special things about you If you could feel the way that I do today we could Find us a better way to get through Every time I climb into your eyes I get so wasted and hypnotized But there is one thing you can't disguise That you're slippin' away for a new Baby if I could control the time Then I could stop it and redefine Just what is real and how I've been so blind I could put all the words into rhyme, and I know it's myself it's not you I can see everything, it's all in your smile that brings All of the special things about you If you could feel the way that I do today we could Find us a better way to get through If it seems to you that I am fading
