[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me
Don't whisper gently that you can't forget me tonight
Tonight
'Cause I've heard it all before
Just turn away, don't play that game
Baby, I don't want to anymore

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone
It's too late
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same, baby
No, no, no

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
Don't tell me you're sorry you hurt me
How many times can I give in?
How many battles can you win?
Oh, don't beg for mercy tonight
Tonight
'Cause I can't take anymore
Just turn around, don't break me down
Baby, I don't love you like before

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Let it all fade away
Don't you know that love is gone?
It's too late, oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same, baby
Oh, oh

[Bridge 1: Will Downing]
So hard for me to let you go
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Oh baby, give it one more chance
I know that we can make it last

[Bridge 2: Will Downing]
Just let me love you one more time
'Cause I don't wanna lose my mind
So hard for me to let you go
So hard for me to let you go

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Let it all fade away (Why don't you?)
Love is gone it's too late (The love is gone, baby, it's too late, oh)
Everything fades away (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Nothing ever stays the same, babe
Nothing ever stays the same
Oh, whoa, whoa

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Let it all fade away (Oh, let it fade away)
Love is gone, it's too late (The love is gone, baby, it's too late)
Everything fades away (Every, everything, fades away)
Nothing ever stays the same

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
It only fades, it only fades
Only fades, it only fades
Baby, don't tell me you miss me you love me
It only fades, it only fades
Only fades, it only fades (Whoa, oh)
Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me (Whoa, oh)
It only fades, it only fades
Only fades, it only fades (Whoa)
Baby don't tell me you miss me, you love me (Whoa, oh)
It only fades, it only fades
Only fades, it only fades (Whoa)
Baby, don't tell me you miss me

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
