Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – warped vinyl + low Rhodes hum] (scratches… distant hiss) Wish I knew… how to stay when it hurts this much… [Verse 1 – soft, fragile female vox] Your sweater’s on the chair where you left it, Still holds the shape of someone I can’t forget. I breathe it in and it stings like winter, Cold memories growing thinner and thinner. We talked in circles till our voices shook, Every word was another page we never could book. You said “maybe we’re just not the same,” But I still hear your voice every time it rains. [Pre-Chorus – breathy dual-layer vocals] And I swear I tried… Held on so tight… But love won’t heal If we’re both running from the light… [Chorus – soft sub-bass swell + reverb choir drop] I’m fading in your hands, Like ink washed off in the rain. You said you’d always stay, But “always” never came. Your shadow’s on my wall, It haunts me when I stand. You let me slip through you— I’m fading… in your hands. [Verse 2 – shakier, emotional] The Rhodes plays wrong like it mirrors me, Every note bent out of place where we used to be. I replay nights where we swore forever, Now forever feels like something I’ll meet never. The hallway still remembers our footsteps, Now it’s quiet—just echoes and regrets. Wish you’d fight for me the way I fought for us, But you turned your back on everything we trust. [Pre-Chorus – breathy dual vox, slightly more desperate] And I swear I tried… Held on so tight… But I can’t keep love alive If you’re already saying goodbye… [Chorus – reverb choir drop returns] I’m fading in your hands, Like ink washed off in the rain. You said you’d always stay, But “always” never came. Your shadow’s on my wall, It haunts me when I stand. You let me slip through you— I’m fading… in your hands. [Bridge – whispered vox + deep vinyl crackle] Maybe some things aren’t meant to last— even if we hold them like they’re all we have. Maybe I loved you more than you could understand… Maybe letting go is all that I have left. [Final Chorus – quiet, resigned, fading out] I’m fading in your hands, Like ink washed off in the rain. I kept waiting for your love, But waiting just became pain. You turned into a ghost, I didn’t fit into your plans… So I’ll let myself disappear— I’m fading… in your hands… (vinyl crackle… slow Rhodes chord… silence)
