Slow Fade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] First there's a pain I try to repress All but drained from my head to my chest It nearly killed me, mmm Next phase was heavy with helplessness Lead in my legs, I kept blaming myself I thought of quitting I thought of giving up on love forever [Chorus] I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again Oh, I must be insane 'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, take a chance on you Even if I wind up back in the hard place Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing To take a chance on you [Verse 2] Walking down the street, I see an old woman A teenage boy and only understand that felt this feeling too In a stranger's eyes, disappointment and hurt Knee-deep in guilt of not making it work Everybody thinks of quitting They think of giving up on love forever [Chorus] I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again Oh, I must be insane 'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, take a chance on you Even if I wind up back in the hard place Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you [Bridge] Let the pain now fade, slow fade Let the pain now fade, slow fade [Chorus] Even after heartbreak, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, take a chance on you Even if I wind up back in the hard place Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
