Fading Away
Joelle James Lyrics

The day was the day that you showed me
The day you showed me that you are set in your ways and will not change.

You're stuck in your ways you ain't changing
You refuse to change from your current beliefs and behaviors.

So the... You should've been kissing and loving me baby
You missed out on your opportunity to show me affection and love.

I didn't make this far apart
Our distance and separation is not solely my fault.

I show you every single card
I was honest and open with you about everything.

For every reason you took me out on me
You used my shortcomings and flaws as an excuse to blame me.

Oh oh
Expression of sorrow or regret.

I'm with this game shit
I am aware of your manipulative tactics and I am prepared for them.

Made a decision boy you gotta live with
I made a decision and you have to accept the consequences.

So now why you're playing these games, games
Why are you still trying to play mind games and manipulate me?

I'm independent now I ain't gotta deal with
I am self-sufficient and do not need to put up with your toxic behavior.

Wanna feel alive you're not satisfied
I want to feel happy and fulfilled, but your actions do not satisfy me.

But fuck it at least I tried
I put effort into making this work, even though it did not.

Baby I hold down my hand but I keep reach you
I am reaching out to you and trying to make things work, even though it feels like a lost cause.

Don't wanna open my eyes what's the point if I can't see you
I am avoiding facing reality because it hurts too much to not have you in my life.

You got me fading away
Your absence is causing me to lose myself and my sense of identity.

You got me fading away
Your absence is causing me to lose myself and my sense of identity.

Look what you made
You are responsible for the pain and distress that I am feeling.

Mistakes on mistakes yeah you're all back
You continue to make the same mistakes and repeat negative patterns of behavior.

But try to cover it up and see you that
You try to hide your mistakes, but it is clear what you are doing.

Right through you, you made a glass
Your true intentions and feelings are easy to see through, like glass.

Give you my love and give it away
I gave you my love and affection, but it was not reciprocated or appreciated.

It was good and the best what you're doing today
Our relationship was good and satisfying once, but now it is not.

See that you dirty the mess that you made
You make the situation worse and dirtier than it was before.

We up in your face and I'm a grenade
I will confront you about your negative behavior and explode like a grenade.

Bang bang said I'm a fucking grenade
I am warning you that I will not tolerate your harmful behavior anymore.

Uh big proper from my helicopter need the...
The life of wealth and luxury that I lead now is not fulfilling without you.

Elevator in my crib meet it to the...
I have all the material possessions and luxuries, but I am still unhappy without you.

For such a sew only truth see...
I only see the truth and the reality behind our failed relationship.

But I'm too cut up in this money I forgot about you
My focus on money and material possessions made me forget about you and our relationship.

You hate me now what I need
You may hate me now, but I still need you in my life.

A nigga gave you everything in concrete
I gave you everything I had and made promises, but they were not enough to make the relationship work.

You say you faded I could give a fuck
You claim to be fading away, but I do not care anymore.

Nigga what?
A phrase used to express confusion or disbelief.
