Slow Fade

[Verse 1] Be careful little eyes what you see It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings Be careful little feet where you go For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow [Chorus] It's a slow fade when you give yourself away It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade [Verse 2] Be careful little ears what you hear When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near Be careful little lips what you say For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray [Chorus] [Bridge] The journey from your mind to your hands Is shorter than you're thinking Be careful if you think you stand You just might be sinking [Chorus] It's a slow fade when you give yourself away It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day Daddies never crumble in a day Families never crumble in a day [Outro] Oh be careful little eyes what see Oh be careful little eyes what you see For the father up above is looking down in love Oh be careful little eyes what you see
