JEWEL Fading lyrics

It's Wall-Mart, the bathroom
I'm staring in the mirror
Fluorescent lights are bright
It makes the lines clearer

Where did the angel go?
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls
And the string is all I've left

The light bulbs burn
And some ones in the stall
Big white, brick wall
Makes me feel small

And I take my shirt off
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
Peel back the concrete
Hope there's something that truth left

'Cause I am fading, I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading just like fairy tales
When the hero loses faith, I am fading

The air smells like urine
It's getting hard to breath
I could walk out that door
But no one ever really leaves

And I take my clothing off

Trying not to forget
Stupid things like the color of rain
And the smell of stone when it's wet

I am fading, I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading just like fairy tales
When the hero loses faith

And I am naked in the mirror
With a feather in my hand
The lady comes out in the bathroom
Screaming, "Oh, Jesus"
She couldn't understand

But I ask her, "Hey, what happens to us
When we get old and in the way?"
I guess she answered me 'cause they
They took me away

And I am fading, I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading just like fairy tales
When the hero loses faith

And I don't know how and I don't know when
Don't know where I forgot, hope I would never again
I am fading away, I am fading
