Everything Fades Away
Mariah Carey · Music Box [1993]
Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me
Don't whisper gently that you can't forget me
Tonight, tonight, 'cause I've heard it all before
Just turn away
Don't play that game
Baby, I don't want you anymore
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone
It's too late, oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby, no, no, no
Baby, don't tell me you're sorry you hurt me
How many times can I give in
How many battles can you win
Oh, don't beg for mercy
Tonight, tonight, 'cause I can't take anymore
Just turn around
Don't break me down
Baby, I don't love you like before
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone
It's too late, oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby, oh, oh
So hard for me to let you go (so hard)
Don't leave me standing in the cold (don't leave me standing darling, no)
Oh baby, give me one more chance
I know that we can make it last (I know)
Just let me love you one more time
(Don't say it)
Oh darling, gonna lose mind
(Don't say that)
So hard for me to let you go,
So hard for me to let you go
Let it all fade away (why don't you?)
Love is gone (the love is gone, babe)
It's too late, oh, oh
Everything fades away (yeah, ooh)
Nothing ever stays the same, babe
Nothing ever stays the same, whoa
Yeah, fade away
The love is gone babe, it's too late
Everything fades away, yeah
It only fades, only fades, only fades, only fades
Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me
It only fades, only fades, only fades, only fades
Baby don't tell me you miss me, you love me
It only fades, only fades, only fades, only fades
Don't whisper gently that you can't forget me
Tonight, tonight, 'cause I've heard it all before
Just turn away
Don't play that game
Baby, I don't want you anymore
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone
It's too late, oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby, no, no, no
Baby, don't tell me you're sorry you hurt me
How many times can I give in
How many battles can you win
Oh, don't beg for mercy
Tonight, tonight, 'cause I can't take anymore
Just turn around
Don't break me down
Baby, I don't love you like before
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone
It's too late, oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby, oh, oh
So hard for me to let you go (so hard)
Don't leave me standing in the cold (don't leave me standing darling, no)
Oh baby, give me one more chance
