lyrics
You've been chasing after me,
Cutting glass with you teeth,
but your father says no.
He takes a look at me,
He knows I'm turning 18,
He says, this guy's gotta go.
You say my eyes are old,
say my smile's made of gold,
I said, those are just coffee stains.
I got bruises you'll never see,
Because I take time to sew my jeans,
I've been falling on my knees.
Feelings, they will fade.
Fade away.
You asked where I got my love,
I said it hit me from above,
when a brick fell from the sky.
I could be more than he could be,
But you have to show me what it means,
to be more than friends
And the smiles you throw my way,
I can feel them in my veins,
Flowing to my brain.
And I'm only 17,
and I rarely feel anything,
But I have felt the blues.
Feelings, they will fade.
Fade away.
