(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…
