[Intro – soft keys + reverb vocal ad-libs] (Ad-libs: “Yeah, yeah… mmm… uh uh… faded…”) Ooooh… ohhh no… I’m slippin’ baby… ⸻ [Verse 1 – mellow start, vocal riff between lines] Every time I look in your eyes (run) Feel like I’m drownin’ in goodbyes You used to reach, now you just hide Touchin’ your body, but you ain’t inside (Ad-lib: “Where did you go…?”) Girl, we used to be flame and fire Now we barely hold a lighter I gave you all, gave you higher Now I’m watchin’ it expire ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – falsetto float, high-note dips] It’s cold where your love used to sleep Now I lie with memories Whispers on the sheets, baby Feelin’ like we six feet deep (Ad-lib run: “Dee-eep, ooo yeah yeah…”) ⸻ [Chorus – full belt, vocal riff heaven, emotional lifts] I’m faded out — baby I’m driftin’ (woo!) Gave my all, now I’m just wishin’ (oh nooo) You were loud, now you just whisperin’ Gone girl — and I’m missin’ it I’m faded out — can’t feel your touch (feel nothin’) This ain’t pain, it’s just too much (too much) You and me, we lost that rush (oooahhhh) Now I’m faded… faded out of us (Ad-libs: “Umm umm… ahhh ha… woo wooo…”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – stronger chest voice, layered falsetto echoes] Every word feel like a lie Even your silence got too loud You used to fight for me like pride Now you ghost me in a crowd (Ad-lib whisper: “I still see you, even blind…”) We had heat, we had that soul You used to pull me out that hole Now I’m fallin’ all alone Girl you left me over cold ⸻ [Bridge – stripped beat, falsetto run cascade] Why’d you let go of us? We had mad love, more than enough Now it’s dust, just dust, oh oh ohhh… (Run: “Dust to duuuh—usttt, ohhhhhh”) (Ad-lib: “I was yours, but now I’m goooone…”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – explosive, raw emotion, climax run] I’m faded out — feel it in my bones (ahhh!) You walked away like it was known (yeahhh) We was real, girl, we was home Now I’m lost and all alone Faded out — from your heart (from your heart) We ain’t close, we worlds apart You still here, but not that part Of you that kept me in the dark *(Ad-libs: “Ahhh ha… woo wooo… umm umm… we done, we goooone”) Yeah… I’m faded… ohhh faded out, yeahhhh… ⸻ [Outro – soft piano + echoing falsetto] (Vocal run: “Faded… ohhh… faaaaded outtt…”)
