Fade to Blue

Fade to Blue [Intro] *dark sad piano, vinyl cracks* Ooh-ooh... ahh-ahh... (Lo-fi crackle, soft piano or detuned keys, subtle ambient texture) Ooh-ooh... ahh-ahh... [Verse 1] There is nothing left to do Falling pieces—me and you Every word just fades to gray Ooh-ooh, I watched it slip away Couldn’t breathe when you were near But it’s worse with you not here Tried to speak, but lost the sound Ahh-ahh, now I’m breaking down [Pre-Chorus] You were always out of reach Like the tide that pulls the beach Every step, a deeper scar I’m just waiting from afar Ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh Ooh-ooh... still too far... [Chorus] Your beauty cuts me like a blade In your light, I lose and fade I could never reach your skin Still, I ache to let you in So I'll wither where I stand Loving you with empty hands Ooh-ooh... ahh-ahh... Ooh-ooh... you’ll never understand [Verse 2] Every glance, a quiet wound You’re the calm, I am the ruin Kept your name beneath my ribs Ooh-ooh, like a song I can’t forgive You were always out of reach Like the tide beyond the beach Still I reached with shaking hands Ahh-ahh, knowing where I stand [Pre-Chorus] You were always out of reach Like the tide that pulls the beach Every step, a deeper scar I’m just waiting from afar Ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh Ooh-ooh... still too far... [Chorus] Your beauty cuts me like a blade In your light, I lose and fade I could never reach your skin Still, I ache to let you in So I'll wither where I stand Loving you with empty hands Ooh-ooh... ahh-ahh... Ooh-ooh... you’ll never understand [Bridge] (soft/spoken or whispered) I don’t belong in worlds like yours Your silence slams like closing doors You moved on without a trace Left me stranded in this place *Instrumental drop: ambient synths, distant reversed keys, lo-fi textures* [Final Chorus] Your beauty cuts me like a blade Every part of me betrayed I was never meant to stay Still, I gave myself away So I'll wither where I stand Loving you with empty hands Ooh-ooh... ahh-ahh... Fade me out, just like you planned [Outro] (Beat filters out, gentle vinyl pop to silence) Ooh-ooh... (soft, stretched) Ahh-ahh... Fade to nothing… fade to blue…
