Slow Fade

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