Kate Dearaugo - Faded Lyrics






You never take
Take the time to really look
Look at the one
The one I really am

You try to fit
To fit me in a perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's gone
Like a picture nobody sees

I'll bet you don't
Don't even know my favourite song
You tell me how
How I should wear my hair

You wanna change
Everything I ever was
Try to erase me
Till I'm not there

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's gone
Like a picture nobody sees

Now I've faded
Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself
Yeah I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not takin' it too well

I don't wanna be your little picture perfect pretty girl
Who's got nothing to say
I'm not gonna wait around
Let you run my whole life down
So you can watch me fade away

(Faded, Faded)
You try to fit
Fit me in your perfect box

(Faded, Faded)
You try to fit
Fit me in your perfect box

You try to fit
Fit me in a perfect box
You let me slip between the cracks

[CHORUS:]
Now I've faded
Into someone else
Made me someone I don't wanna be
Yeah I'm faded
My true colour's gone
Like a picture nobody sees

Now I've faded
Like I never was
Till I don't even know myself
Yeah I'm faded
Into what you want
But I'm not takin' it too well

I Faded
(Faded, hated, slippin' away as I disappear in the dark)
I Faded
(Faded, hated, so far away from who I was at the start)

Faded, hated, slippin' away as I disappear in the dark
Faded, hated, so far away from who I was at the start

Kate Dearaugo Faded Comments
  1. R.... P....

    Miss her song

  2. G.... O....

    The verioncas write this ive heard all for covers of this personally i think cascada is best at this song

  3. z.... ....

    alan walker

  4. D.... ....

    I love the part from 1:58 to 2:14, sounds like a kickass opening for a TV show.

  5. C.... W....

    Oh my gosh
    I love this song
    I have her album in my CD collection

  6. D.... H....

    Great song too bad she's a drug addict/drug dealer.

  7. T.... ....

    why did I think kelly clarkson sung this omgggggg

  8. F.... L....

    I love this song and also i love her song 'maybe tonight'. Kate's quite good looking and she looks like Kate Hudson.

  9. V.... B....

    It took me 3 days to find this but FINALLY!!!!!

  10. d.... l....

    10 YEARS i FOUND you omfg im now complete

    d.... l....

    david leca I came on this video solely because of you comment on Middle by Jimmy Eat World!!

    d.... l....

    Haha ty youtube doesnt tell me updates on comments anymore or i would of seen this before.

  11. j.... t....

    plenty of talent still . give it another go.

  12. C.... C....

    Everyone thought she would be Australia's own version of Kelly Clarkson...

    C.... C....

    Corrie Cummins Kelly Clarkson didn't go off the rails and get arrested for drug possession and weapons did she? Because if she did then Kate would be the Australian Kelly Clarkson

    C.... C....

    Not to mention Kelly doesn't need lots of autotune xD

  13. O.... M....

    Kate should have stuck to her Swimming teacher job instead of being a musician. You wouldn't be taking drugs if you didn't go on Australian Idol and not release any new music since 2006 (discarding the Young Divas(

  14. T.... ....

    I'm only here cause she got done for DUI, what a fucking gem this is though

    T.... ....

    @TheRussBus94 This song was a warning sign because she is actually Faded now hahah

    T.... ....

    @Nathan F I cringed

  15. Y.... ....

    i remember this being the soundtrack to Smallville!

    Y.... ....

    +YOMAD22 as did i but i couldnt remeber what it was called or the chorus 10 years lol i looked

  16. G.... ....

    I miss hearing her voice on the radio.
    Hard to believe this song came out in 2005, time sure does pass by.
    Good song, brings back memories.
    I hope Kate makes some more music.

    G.... ....

    GodBotherer1 I do too
    I have her cd
    This makes me feel old now
    I was in high school when this came out

  17. S.... A....

    Tho song describes me perfectly right now :(

  18. N.... P....

    Cascada=Kate DeAraugo!
    I like both versions!

  19. R.... ....

    Well at least this girl was more marketable than Casey and Natalie.

  20. E.... L....

    rage <3

  21. x.... ....

    shes now a receptionist for a car dealer in Bendigo, vic.

  22. t.... ....

    yep, always and forever bahaha

  23. b.... l....

    she isn't that big any way

  24. m.... ....

    I'd take her if she'd have me

  25. A.... ....

    Does she try to copy Kelly Clarkson?

  26. D.... W....

    R.I.P. Rage Top 50 (90's-Mid 2006)

  27. S.... K....

    No wonder it sounded so good!! The veronicas wrote this.

  28. J.... ....

    Look at that phone.. xD

  29. Q.... ....

    @toddt85 I havent heard this in so long and i'm re-obsessing muahahhahaa

  30. T.... ....

    3:36 faded by very fast. Or was it just me?

  31. s.... ....

    @BestACappella yeah, most people off idol seem to sizzile of and you never hear from them again!

  32. s.... ....

    @BestACappella yeah, that would sound really good, where is she these days???

  33. s.... ....

    She needs to make a come back like kelly clarkson did!

  34. H.... H....

    Hmmm nope.

    Got nothing on the Cascada Version.

  35. T.... ....

    i loved this song!! it was opening for smallville!!!! <3 tom welling...ahhh <3

  36. t.... ....

    LOL I was OBSESSED with this song back in the day!

  37. b.... ....

    i saw her in the Australian open in 2005.. hehe

  38. e.... ....

    this version is so close to The Veronicas version
    when i heard this song for the first time was by Cascada and it was the best

  39. B.... ....

    Although I like the Veronicas version and this version I still like the Everlife version best of all, they sing it with the most emotion lol.

  40. e.... p....

    This woman reminds me of my mom :)

  41. f.... ....

    Cascada >>>>>>>>>>>>

  42. N.... ....

    @tter85 True, your order is right. Thing sonds sound that good. But I think the veronicas is more awesome. Kate's version had big budget production and audio editing. The veronica's version yo could hear every human imperfection, as it was a demo.

  43. c.... ....

    @mandyxjane they wrote it for kate... and kate's version is the best

  44. J.... H....

    It doesnt matter either way, a good song is a good song, and this song is awesome no matter who sings it !

  45. J.... H....

    @JMz0803 Yeah thats what i read somewhere too, that they did a demo or whatever. Thats all Im saying pretty much, that i like their demo version more than this one but Kate is a good singer too. Much better than Cascada.
    and @sezarox2010 Maybe you have better info than me but JMz0803 said the same thing, The V's penned it for her and gave her the demo version thats out there. I heard that version first and fell in love with it and then i heard everyone elses version.

  46. J.... H....

    @sezarox2010 Stole it? I thought they wrote it originally

  47. s.... ....

    @JMz0803 Still loca4tlc thinks that the veronica's gave it to her!

  48. s.... ....

    @loca4tlc
    Hey The Veronica's stole it off Kate!

  49. s.... ....

    I'm kinda getting offended that every1 is calling her a copy cat, so what if it's like Kelly Clarkson! p.s The veronicas were NOT the first ones to sing this song! All of the other singers copied off kate!
    I'm getting offend because she is my best friends 2nd cousin!

  50. J.... H....

    I didnt beleive that the veronicas gave this song to her but now that im hearing it it doesnt sound that bad with Kate. But The veronicas sound much better

  51. w.... ....

    Cascada's version unfortunately eclipsed this original.

  52. R.... ....

    @iloveyou123iloveyou1 Don't have a bitch fit sakes, did i say it was a bad thing it looked like a Kelly Clarkson vid??? I shall accept ur apology for ur rant!

  53. S.... K....

    seriously. why didn't Jess and Lisa not put this song on their album? it fits them so well. and of course they sing it way better :)

  54. P.... ....

    @bertie1989 its still awsome i only wish she was still singing

  55. G.... D....

    hmm, The Veronicas version is soooo much better ._.

  56. R.... ....

    @dudetterose You may think Kelly Clarkson sucks but she's sold wayyy over 20millions albums, Kate sold hardly any and was dropped. But ur entitled to ur own opinion =]

  57. a.... j....

    @bertie1989 pretty much copied her more like

  58. b.... ....

    how many people sing this song? seriously.

  59. M.... ....

    I agree LOOOOOOOOL

  60. d.... ....

    this version FTW

  61. M.... ....

    Always enjoy this song,,,
    MensHelpTv

  62. s.... ....

    i like this version better

  63. s.... ....

    Cascada's version sounds like S***!

  64. w.... ....

    actually its the other way around

  65. w.... ....

    cascada did one
    the veronicas and other producers wrote this song for kate
    and they did a demo
    and it leaked on the internet

  66. R.... ....

    A very Kelly clarkson style look and video, any1 agree?

  67. Y.... ....

    Kate is awesome! Sing it for the Porkos!

  68. l.... ....

    How Manii Versions 2 Diis Song??
    Lool
    ii Personlii Luv The Veronicas Version Best x

  69. P.... ....

    "the Veronicas and Cascada sang it the Best!" (:

  70. P.... T....

    I like The Veronica's version best.
    Don't get me wrong , though, they're all good.
    I just would rather listen to The Veronicas sing it. O:!
    There's only four, right? Kate, The veronicas, Everlife, and Cascada?

  71. J.... ....

    oh I should read the comments first ^^

    I aktually like all three versions (cascada, veronicas und kate)....but my favourite is the original by the veronicas <3

  72. J.... ....

    Is this one the original ??

  73. K.... ....

    hahah i forgot this girl is also one of the idol winners.
    where have they all gone lol

  74. C.... M....

    I like The Veronicas and Everlife's version better. Cascada and her's suck. The veronica's (who actually wrote this song) sang it best

  75. F.... Y....

    This is ok...But the Veronicas who actaully wrote it are the best at it by far!!

  76. M.... ....

    Cascada version is the best really....

  77. A.... ....

    Cascada copy,but Cascada remix it's best,but that not is bad¡

  78. N.... C....

    this song was written waayyy before the veronicas came in.

  79. M.... O....

    no hard feelings but The Veronicas

    are best!!!

  80. 0.... ....

    The Veronicas did a demo of it, then this Kate actually did it. The rest are just copies, this song was done like 2 yrs ago haha.

  81. H.... ....

    This girl has lovely hair...Its actually her best feature...Only one problem, I get tired of looking at her underbite...It becomes very distracting...yeah yeah I know it sounds bitchy but its so true! lol

  82. L.... ....

    it's Veronicas demo that song! Everlife singer too!

  83. M.... H....

    I like this better than the Veronicas version.

  84. t.... ....

    I love this song :)
    I havn't heard this song in years!

  85. K.... L....

    man i had no idea i was low life, despite the fact i have frankly an amazing life, i will have to go tell my mom how she raised me to be a low life and cry myself to sleep tonight.

  86. K.... L....
