[Verse 1 – soft, expressive female vocal with subtle vibrato] I can't suppress it if I get Maybe we should wait till we get older You've been like everything I need I'm sick of being used, believe I'm already gone, you can't stop me I've been holding on more than it's healthy I've accepted we're just not aligned Maybe we'll come back in our right time If it's right We'll be all right In the right side [Verse 2 – slightly breathy tone, reflective phrasing] You said our hearts would learn to bend But I kept breaking where you end I’ve been tracing words we left unsaid (yeah) On the silence where we slept [Chorus – clear and emotional delivery, gentle piano emphasis] If it fades, let it fade slow Maybe love was just to show How it feels to lose control And still, to care somehow [Verse 3 – gentle build, voice a little warmer, subtle bass movement] All the days we tried to rearrange Still we stayed the same in different ways Every word turned soft and gray Like the light before it fades away [Bridge – softer dynamics, distant piano arpeggios] I thought I’d find you in the calm But time keeps slipping through my palms We tried to heal, we tried to grow Some things you just let go [Final Chorus – more open tone, quiet strength in the voice] If it fades, let it fade slow Maybe love was meant to go And if we meet another time We’ll smile, and know we tried [Interlude] [Extended Outro – airy RnB ad-libs, expressive but restrained; piano lingers and fades] We’ll smile, and know we tried Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, yeah-yeah-yeah Mmm-mm, we tried… Ah-ah, oh-oh… we tried Ahh… (yeah-yeah) Mmm… time goes by-ay Ah-ah… still I sigh Ohh… time… time… Mmm… we tried… we tried…
