Slow Fade

[Verse 1]
First there's a pain I try to repress
All but drained from my head to my chest
It nearly killed me, mmm
Next phase was heavy with helplessness
Lead in my legs, I kept blaming myself
I thought of quitting
I thought of giving up on love forever

[Chorus]
I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again
Oh, I must be insane
'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
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 or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you

[Verse 2]
Walking down the street, I see an old woman
A teenage boy and only understand that felt this feeling too
In a stranger's eyes, disappointment and hurt
Knee-deep in guilt of not making it work
Everybody thinks of quitting
They think of giving up on love forever

[Chorus]
I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again
Oh, I must be insane
'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
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 or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you

[Bridge]
Let the pain now fade, slow fade
Let the pain now fade, slow fade

[Chorus]
Even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
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 or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
