Lights Fade
Pop rap · Tropical house
There's a limbo between a relationship ending and actually feeling like it's over. Lights Fade lives in that in-between — where the decision has been made but the emotions haven't caught up yet. It's about learning to say goodbye to someone who still occupies every quiet moment, and slowly accepting that some of the most beautiful things in your life were also mistakes. The letting go isn't sudden. It's a long, slow fade.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Late nights, your silhouette in my phone light Said you're done but you still hit me at midnight Can't lie, I been thinking 'bout the way you smile Haven't seen it in a while, been a while [Pre-Chorus] Everything you said to me was temporary Now I'm stuck replaying every memory Tried to let it go but you're extraordinary Is it wrong that I still carry [Chorus] All the moments that we had before the fallout? Way you used to say my name, I hear it now Baby, what we gonna do when the lights fade? When it's just us and the mistakes we made Tell me, will you think of me after we're gone? After we're gone [Verse 2] Sunrise, different city, same state of mind Your ghost follows me wherever I drive Real talk, I don't wanna do this anymore But I don't know how to close the door [Pre-Chorus] Everything you promised was so temporary Now I'm second-guessing what was real for me Said you'd never leave but that was February Now it's fall and I still carry [Chorus] All the moments that we had before the fallout? Way you used to say my name, I hear it now Baby, what we gonna do when the lights fade? When it's just us and the mistakes we made Tell me, will you think of me after we're gone? After we're gone [Bridge] Maybe in another life we get it right Maybe we were just ahead of time But right now, right now I'm learning how to say goodbye [Chorus - Final] To the moments that we had before the fallout Way you used to say my name, I still hear it now Baby, I know what to do when the lights fade Leave behind the beautiful mistakes we made But I'll still think of you after we're gone After we're gone
