[Intro – soft synth pads + distant vocal hums]
(Mm… yeah…)
In the quiet… everything hits…
[Verse 1]
We used to talk ‘til the city fell asleep,
Now I’m staring at the ceiling where your shadows used to breathe.
Cold coffee on the counter, yeah, I let it sit too long—
Guess it’s fitting, everything we had just cooled and moved on.
You left your sweater on the chair, like you’d come back someday,
But it’s just fabric now—no heartbeat in the grey.
I replay the words you whispered like a ghost in the room,
Every echo cuts deeper than the truth.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m trying,
But the silence keeps reminding
Me of all the things we lost
Without a warning sign.
[Chorus]
We’re just faded in the quiet,
Two hearts that couldn’t fight it.
You slipped like smoke right through my hands,
A love I couldn’t hold or understand.
Now your name feels heavy,
Like a song stuck in my memory.
Wish I could rewrite it—
But we’re faded in the quiet.
[Verse 2]
Your toothbrush still leans next to mine,
Little things that never learned how to say goodbye.
I take the long way home so I don’t pass your street,
But somehow every road still drags me back to where we’d meet.
Your laughter’s still a bruise that hasn’t healed,
Soft, but it hurts every time it’s revealed.
I’m talking to the walls like they might talk back—
Even the empty feels too full of what we had.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m trying,
But the silence keeps reminding
Me that losing you was something
I was never trained to find.
[Chorus]
We’re just faded in the quiet,
Two hearts that couldn’t fight it.
You slipped like smoke right through my hands,
A love I couldn’t hold or understand.
Now your name feels heavy,
Like a song stuck in my memory.
Wish I could rewrite it—
But we’re faded in the quiet.
[Bridge – whispered, atmospheric]
Maybe in another life
We don’t fall apart so easily.
Maybe I don’t lose you
To the versions of me
I was still trying to fix.
[Final Chorus]
We’re still faded in the quiet,
No spark left to ignite it.
You drifted off like something meant
To never stay beside me.
Now the dawn feels lonely,
Like the world forgot to hold me.
Wish I didn’t have to fight it…
But we’re faded in the quiet.
