VERTIE’s emotions hit her heavier than before, wishing for the love she wanted but never came in “faded,” the rush and yearn for it all is lacking and there isn’t much more to recover. This connection no longer brings her any positive feelings as it just drains her emotionally.
[Intro]
(It's like we faded)
(It's like we faded)
[Verse 1]
Nights, I don't sleep‚ listen for the floor to creak
Wait for a hand on my cheek
But comfort doesn't come from me
Mornings I eat the same damn thing
Counting the times‚ criticize your speech
When you can say the right thing
[Pre-Chorus]
So I tie my hair back
And catch my blessings
I've learned some lessons
And count to ten
Coming back again
To feel you closer
Are we closer yet?
[Chorus]
Look at the same face I once loved
But I don't recognize your touch
It's like we faded
You got that same face I love
I can barely see it through your blank stare
How I want to know if you still mean it
It's not the same way it was
And I cannot believe it
It's like we faded
[Post-Chorus]
It's like we fa— like we fa— like we faded‚ yeah
It's like we fa— like we fa— like we faded, yeah
[Verse 2]
Days I spent looking for the life left
Apologize for acting mean
I'm running through the same routine
Like it's inevitable to get more frustrated
Days passing days
Days passing days
[Pre-Chorus]
So I tie my hair back
And catch my blessings
I've learned some lessons
And count to ten
Coming back again
To feel you closer
Are we closer yet?
[Chorus]
You got that same face I would kiss
But I don't recognize the shift
It's like we faded
You got that same face I love
I can barely see it through your blank stare
How I want to know if you still mean it
It's not the same way it was
And I cannot believe it
It's like we faded
[Bridge]
So let me lie down you know I'm not afraid, getting close
It's like we faded
So let me lie down you know I'm not afraid‚ getting close
And get a little closer
[Outro]
It's like we fa— like we fa— like we faded, yeah
It's like we fa— like we fa— like we faded, yeah
