Fade Out
Olivia O'Brien Seeb Space Primates Lyrics

Not to be cold but it's only been 'bout two or three days
I don't mean to be insensitive, but it has only been around two or three days since we last spoke

Thought it was clear when you didn't hear back for two or three days
I thought it was obvious that I wasn't interested when you didn't receive a response from me for a couple of days

I don't really wanna ghost you, but
I don't really want to abruptly cut off communication with you, but

I think I gotta go soon and
I believe I need to end things soon and

Nowadays we don't really do communication
Nowadays, genuine communication is not something we often engage in

Or things of that nature, yeah
Or similar types of interactions, yeah

I don't wanna ghost you, but
I don't want to completely disappear from your life without explanation, but

I don't really wanna go through
I don't really want to experience

Just another uncomfortable conversation
Just another difficult and uncomfortable conversation

So this is where I fade out
So this is where I slowly remove myself from the situation

Sorry to disappear
Apologies for suddenly vanishing

But I know that I can't say what you want to hear
But I understand that what you want to hear is not something I can say

You'll get over it
Eventually, you'll move on from this

I never wanna give out fake love
I never want to pretend to have feelings that I don't truly possess

Nothing you can say when my mind's made up
There's nothing you can say to change my decision when I have already made up my mind

So sorry to disappear
So I apologize for vanishing without a proper explanation

But, baby, this is where I fade out
But, baby, this is where I gradually remove myself from your life

You'll get over it
Eventually, you'll move on from this

Don't pretend that you wanna hear all the reasons I'm not into you
Don't pretend that you genuinely want to hear all the reasons why I'm not interested in you

I can let it all out, but I don't see how that would feel good to you
I can express all my reasons, but I fail to see how that would be satisfying for you

You don't really want closure, nah
You don't truly desire closure, no

You just want me to come over one more time
You simply want me to come over for one last encounter

And honestly that's not gonna change a thing
And honestly, that won't make any difference

You think I'll come down with a case of regret
You believe that I will start feeling regret

But I trust my gut and it ain't let me down yet
But I have confidence in my instincts, and they have never let me down so far

So why we gotta have an awkward moment?
So why do we have to experience an uncomfortable and awkward situation?

I already know where this is going
I already know the outcome of this situation

I ain't gonna change my mind, change my mind
I'm not going to alter my decision, change my decision

But, baby, this is where I fade out
But, baby, this is where I gradually remove myself from your life

You'll get over it
Eventually, you'll move on from this

I never wanna give out fake love
I never want to pretend to have feelings that I don't truly possess

Nothing you can say when my mind's made up
There's nothing you can say to change my decision when I have already made up my mind

So sorry to disappear
So I apologize for vanishing without a proper explanation

But, baby, this is where I fade out
But, baby, this is where I gradually remove myself from your life

You'll get over it
Eventually, you'll move on from this

I never wanna give out fake love
I never want to pretend to have feelings that I don't truly possess

Nothing you can say when my mind's made up
There's nothing you can say to change my decision when I have already made up my mind

So I fade out
So I gradually remove myself from the situation
