Fadeaway

You were playing hard to get at the Metronome
Testing me with your lies
And I was trying to play it down as I walked you home
Testing a new disguise

Then suddenly we're outside your home
Two rooms and a private door
And you turned to me
And you said:

Fade away
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away
Fade away into the night
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away

So I'm a lover without love [?]
Wondering what went wrong
Should I have tried a different role as a Romeo
And played the part out more strong?

Then I hear a sound coming from a doorway
Someone strikes a familiar tone
And the word begins
And she said:

Fade away
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away
Fade away into the night
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away

And I hear a sound coming from a doorway
Someone strikes a familiar tone
And the word begins
And you said:

Fade away
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away
Fade away into the night
How could your eyes have been so wrong?
Fade away
