[Verse 1]
Waves are breaking in a storm
Tornado sweep me off the floor
See only darker skies in sight
You wanna know what that's like
Like thousand needles in my heart
Whenever times sets us apart
And now my world is crashing down
Now that I can't have you around
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded)
[Verse 2]
Running fast in in hail and rain
Some might tell me I'm insane
Throw all reason out the door
Won't make a difference no more
A thousand needles in my heart
Sure made it painful from the start
You eased up back in our day
The day before you walked away
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded)
[Bridge]
Like a thousand needles in my heart
A thousand needles in my heart
A thousand needles in my heart
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
I can see you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded, faded, faded, faded, faded)
Waves are breaking in a storm
Tornado sweep me off the floor
See only darker skies in sight
You wanna know what that's like
Like thousand needles in my heart
Whenever times sets us apart
And now my world is crashing down
Now that I can't have you around
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded)
[Verse 2]
Running fast in in hail and rain
Some might tell me I'm insane
Throw all reason out the door
Won't make a difference no more
A thousand needles in my heart
Sure made it painful from the start
You eased up back in our day
The day before you walked away
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded)
[Bridge]
Like a thousand needles in my heart
A thousand needles in my heart
A thousand needles in my heart
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh why you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded
I can see you wanna break away? I'm bleeding
I can see you now in shades of grey
A memory faded (Faded, faded, faded, faded, faded, faded, faded)
