“Fading Away” aka “Fading” is the fourth track from Rihanna’s fifth studio album, Loud. This is the original version written and given to Rihanna. Somehow, Ester Dean name was present in the credits as the writer on some sites by mistake (genius, wiki, loud booklet etc).
[Verse 1:]
You say you love me, but they feel like words to me
Well, this just ain't working
Stop thinking you can run over me
Drifting, settling off to a foreign place
If I can't see what's in front of me, it's a mystery
Well, then apparently...
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Things just ain't the same
And I'm ready for change
Go on, be gone
Bye bye, so long
[Chorus:]
Can't you see that you're fading?
Fading, fading, fa-a-ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized today, today, it's too late
You're fading away
[Verse 2:]
Put a sock in it
Just stop running your mouth
Got my mind made up
I ain't coming back again
No way, no way, no way, no way
'Cause I'm so fed up
Boy, you got me messed up, if we hooking back up
Don't press your luck today, today
I'm blowing you away, yeah yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Things just ain't the same
And I'm ready for change
Go on, be gone
Ta-ta, so long
[Chorus:]
Can't you see that you're fading?
Fading, fading, fa-a-ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized today, today, it's too late
You're fading away
[Bridge:]
Saw you turn into a ghost right in front of my eyes
Tell me what's a girl to do when she's crying inside?
I'm about to go insane
I'm jumping off this train
Whether wrong or right, I'll be gone by night
[Chorus:]
Can't you see that you're fading?
Fading, fading, fa-a-ading away, away, away, away
I opened up my eyes
And I finally realized today, today, it's too late
You're fading away
