Slow Fade

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 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 Walking down the street, I see an old woman A teenage boy and only understand they 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 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 Let the pain now fade, slow fade Let the pain now fade, slow fade 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
