faded

James Arthur

I m faded, I m faded, I m not sure if I can make it,
Oh no, but don t you cry for me,
Honey I m not worth it, oh,
Honey I m not worth it, oh,
Honey I m not worth it,
Don t you cry for me.

I m skipping through the days to come home,
A million conversations, autopilot, steer, flow,
I m on one one-man mission, eyes down, take note;
I ve never liked you, stay away from me,

Don t rock the boat; this is the great escape from
Everything I ve ever hated, from all this figuring
This life s shit that got me jaded,
faded all the time, the doubting got me underrated,

This is my mechanism, moving forward, isolated,
Belated superficial gestures of a phony type,
I come alive when I m incarcerated late at night,
I wish that I could leave this soul destruction every night,

That I could regress in an able-bodied prototype,
If that made sense I d leave it here
I have no lesser business,
I m Immaterial but I still got things on a wish list,
This is desire; can t you hear it in my c+ english?

I d love the finer things but that s
Not being realistic, ballistic,
Everybody goes when I m singing,
I m sick of singing pain,
So I m free, broken, winging,
Coming out my heart purer than the way I m living,

Maybe I ll see you, or maybe I ll just give in.
Yeah, it s just too much now that I m all grown up,
I ve been dragged through the dirt
Now I should be blowing up,
Still I m blowing, still I m blowing,

And still I don t know where the hell I should be going,
So I guess it s just live like this til my mind goes snap,
No love, no drug could ever fill this gap,
Yeah I live for the high until it all floods back,
Like the tears of the years that I can t get back.

I m faded, I m faded, I m not sure if I can make it,
Oh no, but don t you cry for me,
Honey I m not worth it, oh,
Honey I m not worth it, oh,
Honey I m not worth it,
Don t you cry for me.
