Fading - AI MUSIC MATRIX
Used to text good morning right when you woke
Now days pass by without a single stroke
Remember when we talked until sunrise
Now conversations barely come alive
Your responses grew from minutes to hours
Eventually days as connections sour
I'm just busy became your constant refrain
While I check your active status, heart in pain
Plans we make get canceled last minute
Rain checks offered with no intention in it
The enthusiasm fading from your voice
Making me wonder if I have a choice
The slow fade
Happening enough for a cold fade
Giving less and less till hearts ache
No dramatic exit, no big fight
Just quietly dimming our light
The slow fade
Died by a thousand cuts
The slow fade
Gradually closing the door shut
Taking the coward's way out
Leaving me twisted in doubt
From constant sharing to radio silence
Your digital presence grows more distant
Read receipts with no reply to follow
Leaving me feeling empty and hollow
Watching you active on social everywhere
Accepting our messages, showing you don't care
Our inside jokes no longer get a reaction
Your attention clearly finding new attraction
You reply with one word where paragraphs grew
Making it clear we're practically through
Yet you keep me hanging by a fragile thread
Not enough to nurture, just enough not to be dead
If you wanna leave just say it to my face
Don't drag me through this painful slow motion race
The cruelty isn't in the goodbye, it's true
It's in the stretched out way you make me lose
You fade
I can feel you slipping away
A little less of you returning each day
This purgatory hurts more than a clean cut
Trapped between being together and not
The slow fade
Not brave enough for a clean slate
The slow fade
Giving less and less till hearts ache
No dramatic exit, no big fight
Just quietly dimming our light
The slow fade
Died by a thousand cuts
The slow fade
Gradually closing the door shut
Taking the coward's way out
Leaving me twisted in doubt
Gradual withdrawal
Slow retreat
Silent departure
Incomplete
Fading interest
Dimming care
Vanishing presence
Barely there
