Fade

(Intro – soft falsetto ad libs, minimal keys)

Yeah… mmm…

Said I was fine… but I lied…

Don’t fade on me now…

(Verse 1 – mellow, lyrical)

I popped off, thought I had it all lined

But it slipped through like sand in time

My girl… she been driftin’ away

No calls, no texts for days

(And I ain’t tryna beg, but I might…)

Feelin’ lost in the silence, I write

Tryna piece it together at night

Sayin’ “I’m good,” but I ain’t alright

(Pre-Chorus – smooth R&B vocals)

Hands on your body, I still feel the spark

But you pull away when it starts gettin’ dark

I can’t chase what won’t stay

But girl, why you fade?

(Chorus – emotional hook, 90s melody)

I wanna be with you, baby

Hurts too much when you're gone from me

Whyyyyyy

Don’t say goodbye, just stay

We could take flight, get lost in the sky

You and I... high high high

(Verse 2 – hip-hop/R&B blend, poetic)

Now I’m talkin' to your ghost in the mirror

Playin’ back things I wish I said clearer

Used to be my peace, now it’s static

Used to be love, now it’s panic

You said forever, I believed

Now I’m stuck with memories I never wanna leave

Do you feel the same when the night gets cold?

Or am I the only one holdin’ on slow?

(Chorus – layered harmonies, 90s groove)

I wanna be with you, baby

Hurts too much when you're gone from me

Whyyyyyy

Don’t say goodbye, just stay

We could take flight, get lost in the sky

You and I... high high high

(Bridge – stripped beat, real emotion)

I ain’t askin’ for the stars, just your time

Just a minute of your heart, not a lie

I’m not perfect, I know I fall

But I showed up when you called

(Outro – fade out like a 90s slow jam)

Don’t fade…

Don’t fade… away from me

Stay…

Stay right here, don’t leave…
