Mike after mile
I keep seeing your smile
I keep making it right in my head
And all that you said
I'll be taking to bed tonight
With my tears and regret

And I'm tired
Yes I'm tired
Oh I'm tired of the games that we play
And this fire
Once was hot
But now it's just fading away

Fading away
Fading away
The face of our love
Has been scribbled and rubbed
Just a portrait that's fading away

Room after room
Was painted with doom
But I tried to see rainbows instead
My friends saw the signs
Cautioned me to take time
See the flags you were waving so red

Now there's no turning back
Now we've turned so bleak and black
We've lied and we've tried,
We've cried and we've died as we've
Spun ourselves right off the track

And I'm scared
Yes I'm scared
Oh I'm scared of what we never say
And this love
Once was deep
But now it's just fading away

Fading away
Fading away
The face of our love
Has been scribbled and rubbed
Just a portrait
That's fading away
We're a portrait
That's fading away
So unfortunate
We're fading away
