Tired of waiting for me to make this change
Tired of feeling a world away
Didn't know what you were thinking
Didn't know you were running
Didn't know you were running scared
I can't take - (waiting)
Every day - (for so long)
I need it today - (save me)
I need it today - (cause i)
And i don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade!
Tired of chasing the words i need to say
Tired of faking the days away
Didn't know what you were thinking
Didn't know you were running
Didn't know you were running scared
And i can't take - (waiting)
Every day - (for so long)
I need it today - (save me)
I need it today - (cause i)
And i don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade!
Oh! gotta get around it
Oh-oh-oh! just forget about it
I don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade
I don't ever want it to change
I don't ever want it to fade!
Tired of waiting for me to make this change.
