Fading In The Dark
Slow 68 BPM blue‑eyed soul ballad. Intimate felt-piano intro under rich, slightly gritty male vocal; close, roomy reverb at first. Warm legato strings and deep, round bass swell in pre-chorus, with brushed percussion easing in. Chorus blooms into full orchestral lift, timpani swells, and gospel-style stacked harmonies answering the lead. Second chorus carries more intensity, with high strings and organ pad adding church-like depth. Final chorus features drop-to-piano moment before a huge vocal crescendo, then a soft, echoing outro., deep, slow, gospel, soul, ballad, dramatic, warm, male vocals, soaring, orchestral, soft, emotional, rich, romantic

Lyrics
Verse 1
Coffee’s gone cold
Your side of the bed
Still has the shape
Of what we said
Pictures half-crooked
Dust on the frame
I keep straightening
Like it might fix the blame
Pre-Chorus
I call your name under my breath
Like you’re in the next room
Every silence in this house
Is echoing you
Chorus
I’m fading in the dark
Reaching out for where you are
Every shadow on these walls
Draws your outline then it falls
I’m begging for a spark
Some proof you still remember us
I’m losing who I am
Losing you is all I trust
I’m fading in the dark
Still chasing your heart
Verse 2
We argued past midnight
Over nothing at all
I threw my pride like knives
You built another wall
Now your key’s on the counter
Your scent’s in the air
I’d trade every stubborn word
To feel you standing there
Pre-Chorus
If I said I’m sorry first
Would you turn back around
Or am I talking to a ghost
In this hollowed-out town
Chorus
I’m fading in the dark
Reaching out for where you are
Every shadow on these walls
Draws your outline then it falls
I’m begging for a spark
Some proof you still remember us
I’m losing who I am
Losing you is all I trust
I’m fading in the dark
Still chasing your heart
Bridge
Come back
Come back
I’ll lay my anger down (ohhh)
Take my pride
Take my fear
Just don’t shut me out now
If you’re halfway down the highway
Turn the car around
I’ll be barefoot in the doorway
Till I hear that sound (come home)
Chorus
I’m fading in the dark
Reaching out for where you are
Every shadow on these walls
Draws your outline then it falls
I’m begging for a spark
Some proof you still remember us
I’m losing who I am
Losing you is all I trust
I’m fading in the dark
Still chasing your heart
Yeah
I’m fading in the dark
Come back to my heart (ohh)
