[Verse 1]
Not colorblind but lately all I see is grey
Showed me all the shades and you took 'em away
Build me up just to break me down
Say I lost my touch

[Pre-Chorus]
I was wasted, think I almost caved in
When you tried to race in
Every single piece of me till I was naked
You tried to persuade me
I had lost my shading

[Chorus]
But I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
Just a little jaded
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
I'm understated
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded

[Verse 2]
Keep acting fake so I don't get to know myself
Looking in the mirror see somebody else
Fighting all the doubt that's in my mind
But I'm brighter than I was
Brighter than I was
[Pre-Chorus]
I was wasted, think I almost caved in
When you tried to race in
Every single piece of me 'til I was naked
You tried to persuade me
I had lost my shading

[Chorus]
But I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
Just a little jaded
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
I'm understated
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded

[Bridge]
I wanna stay (go?)
But my life is complicated in the way it's situated
Oh oh oh
I need to just roll
With the punches and the beatings
That my mind just keeps repeating
Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
But I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
Just a little jaded
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
I'm understated
But I'm holding on
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
'Cause I know, I know, I know that I ain't faded
