[Intro]
Faded, hated, hated
Faded, hated, hated
Faded, hated, hated
Faded, hated, hated

[Verse 1]
You never take
Take the time to really look
Look at the one
The one I really am
You try to fit
To fit me in a perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

[Chorus]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)
Yeah, I'm faded
My true color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees

[Verse 2]
I'll bet you don't
Don't even know my favorite song
You tell me how, how I should wear my hair
You wanna change
Everything I ever was
Try to erase me, 'til I'm not there ('Til I'm not there)

[Chorus]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)
Yeah, I'm faded
My true color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees
Now I've faded
Like I never was
'Til I don't even know myself (Know myself)
Yeah, I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not takin' it too well

[Bridge]
I don't wanna be your little picture perfect pretty girl
Who's got nothing to say (To say)
I'm not gonna wait around
Let you run my whole life down, so you can watch me fade away
(Faded, hated, hated)
You try to fit, fit me in a perfect box
(Faded, hated)
You try to fit, fit me in a perfect box
You try to fit, fit me in a perfect box (Perfect box)
(Faded, hated, hated)
You let me slip (Let me slip, let me slip)
Between the cracks (Between the cracks)

[Chorus]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be (Don't wanna be)
Yeah, I'm faded
My true color's gone
Like a picture nobody sees
Yeah, I've faded
Like I never was
'Til I don't even know myself (Know myself)
Now I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not takin' it too well

[Outro]
Now I'm faded
