Fade Out
Seeb Olivia O'Brien & Space Primates Lyrics

Not to be cold but it's only been 'bout two or three days
I am not trying to be insensitive, but it has only been two or three days since we last communicated.

Thought it was clear when you didn't hear back for two or three days
I assumed it was evident that I was not interested because I did not get in touch with you for two or three days.

I don't really wanna ghost you, but
I don't want to disappear without a word, but

I think I gotta go soon and
I believe I have to leave soon,

Nowadays we don't really do communication
In the modern world, we do not value communication as much as we should.

Or things of that nature, yeah
Or similar activities that require emotional investment.

So this is where I fade out
This is where I disappear without further contact.

Sorry to disappear
I apologize for going silent.

But I know that I can't say what you want to hear
But I am aware that I cannot tell you what you want to hear.

You'll get over it
You will eventually move past this.

I never wanna give out fake love
I do not wish to provide insincere expressions of love.

Nothing you can say when my mind's made up
There is nothing you can say or do to change my decision.

Don't pretend that you wanna hear all the reasons I'm not into you
Do not act as though you genuinely want to know the reasons I am no longer interested in you.

I can let it all out, but I don't see how that would feel good to you
I could be honest with you about why I am not interested, but I do not believe it would benefit you to hear it.

You don't really want closure, nah
You are not actually seeking closure from me,

You just want me to come over one more time
You simply desire one last physical encounter.

And honestly that's not gonna change a thing
And in all honesty, that will not alter my decision to end things.

You think I'll come down with a case of regret
You believe I will experience regret and change my mind,

But I trust my gut and it ain't let me down yet
But I have faith in my instincts, and they have yet to disappoint me.

So why we gotta have an awkward moment?
So why must we endure an awkward exchange?

I already know where this is going
I am already aware of the inevitable outcome of this situation.

I ain't gonna change my mind, change my mind
I am not going to reverse my decision.

So I fade out
Therefore, I disappear without a trace.
