Fade By: Michael Dykhoff 2/5/02 I like the way you look at me. I like the way you can be. Make me feel better about being me. Help me see what I can�t see. I�m not feeling so good today. I�ve got some problems that want to play. But when you�re next to me the problems fade. The streets fill up like the Macy�s day parade. Be my shelter from the storm. Please protect me, keep me warm. Never leave, don�t let go. Believe me when I tell you so. Bring me up, when I�m down. Be the one who�s always around. Comfort me when I�m sad. Make me happy when I feel bad. But don�t forget you�re not real. I made you up so I could deal. Had a bad day, I want to share. You�re the only one that seems to care. I�m a mess now; I've got no one. Being lonely is not so fun. Do I look good? What will they think? I hope I swim, I don�t want to sink. This acceptance thing is harder than it seems. Its even bothering me in my dreams. Be my shelter from the storm. Please protect me, keep me warm. Never leave, don�t let go. Believe me when I tell you so. Bring me up, when I�m down. Be the one who�s always around. Comfort me when I'm sad. Make me happy when I feel bad. But don�t forget you�re not real. I made you up so I could deal. Don�t be afraid of what�s gonna happen. Just open the door and come in. When the days go by I don�t feel so bad. It�s a great feeling, but someday I�ll be sad. Why do I love what I cant? I seem to fall in an instant. It�s hard to live when I cant breathe. Lonely hearts can only seethe. Don�t walk away, I cant loose you. I�ll do anything you tell me too. Be my shelter from the storm. Please protect me, keep me warm. Never leave, don�t let go. Believe me when I tell you so. Bring me up, when I�m down. Be the one who�s always around. Comfort me when I�m sad. Make me happy when I feel bad. But don�t forget you�re not real. I made you up so I could deal. You bring me up, and make me feel. It�s hard to believe you�re not real. All my problems seem to shade. When you�re around you make them fade.
