[Verse 1]
The only thing I recall is
Shadows coming my way
Comforting me with their searchlights
To guide me home again
We will take
We will take
That wretched heart away
And when you come to
You'll thank us
For this new you we've made

[Chorus]
Now I'm fading away
Fading
Fading
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)

[Verse 2]
So now I wait as they make me
Into someone else
If I believe what they tell me
I'm tired of being myself
Cause they take
And they take
A piece of me everyday
"We will help you belong here
With this new you we've made"
[Chorus]
Now I'm fading away
Fading
Fading
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)
From me

[Bridge]
If you could amputate my heart
Then I will learn to smile and then
You can replace me with yourself
And I'll become the model citizen
And I will tell them all
That I had this breakthrough surgery
They give you a pill
Then remove your heart
And replace it with a battery

[Chorus]
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)
So now I'm left here fading away (Now I'm fading away)
Far away (Fading)
Far away (Fading)
From me
