Long nights

(Intro - soft, echoing synth pads with a mellow 808 beat)

Yeah... uh...

Late nights, city lights blurrin'

Thinkin' 'bout you, girl, it's disturbin'

Used to have you right here, yeah, in person

Now it's just memories, a painful excursion

(Verse 1)

Remember that trip down to South Beach?

Sun on your skin, just out of reach

Now I'm scrollin' through pics, can't help but breach

The walls I built up, tryna practice what I preach

But damn, it's hard when your face pops up

Everywhere I go, fillin' my solo cup

With Hennessy thoughts, yeah, I can't get enough

Of the pain, the memories, this emotional stuff

(Chorus - builds slightly with layered vocals and subtle ad-libs)

'Cause we were golden, yeah, a moment in time

Now it's just faded, like a old school rhyme

Tryna find closure, but it's hard to climb

Outta this hole, this feeling, this paradigm

Of what we had, what we lost, what could've been

Yeah, you were my queen, I was your king, it would seem

Now it's just echoes, a broken, faded dream

Lost in the city, searchin' for a new gleam

(Outro - fades out with the synth pads and 808, a final ad-lib)

Yeah... faded dream... uh... always on my mind...
