Woke up one morning
And feeling refreshed
Look in the mirror
And to think what's ahead
I know that something special could happen today
But all I'm seeing is this slow decay
I am fading

Woke up one afternoon
With nothing to do
My heart keeps beating
Because I wanted it to
I know that something should change really soon
Will this cycle ever bring something new
I am fading

I am fading on the inside
Fading on the outside
Fading on the inside

Woke up one midnight
And I know what to do
If I want this to change
I must start to move
I've found that changes don't come easy now
There is no haven that will bear me out

I am fading on the inside
Fading on the outside
Fading on the inside
And I can't hide
I won't hide
