Faded
Izzy Bizu · Faded
Don’t be stepping out alone, yeah boy
I can’t say that it won’t fall apart
We both know it'd be a lie if we left with no goodbye (Yeah)
What you want from me?
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, oh baby
What you want from me?
Doing what it takes
Gonna run away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh)
Oh baby, baby (Ooh)
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
When you say goodbye I already know
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
’Cause we out of time
We already know that we can’t fake it
I’m feeling faded (Ooh)
What you want from me?
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, oh baby
What you want from me?
Doing what it takes
Gonna run away
Oh baby, baby (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh)
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling faded
You're not really my type, yeah boy
But you give me what I like, yeah boy
I've been waiting 'round the block for you
You're always running late
Why you gotta make me wait? (Yeah)
What you want from me?
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, oh baby
What you want from me?
Doing what it takes
Gonna run away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh)
Oh baby, baby (Ooh)
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
When you say goodbye I already know
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
’Cause we out of time
We already know that we can’t fake it
I’m feeling faded (Ooh)
What you want from me?
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, oh baby
What you want from me?
Doing what it takes
Gonna run away
Oh baby, baby (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh)
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling faded
It’s getting late, getting late
Wanna stay, wanna stop that clock, yeah
Anyway, anyway, anyway
I could run with you
By the way, by the way, by the way
Got my heart in this, yeah
I’m feeling, I’m feeling (Ooh)
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
When you say goodbye I already know
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling faded
I’m feeling high, yeah I’m feeling low
’Cause we out of time
We already know that we can’t fake it
I’m feeling faded (Ooh)

Faded
"Faded" is a song that feels both glacial and warm. The track, by British singer Izzy Bizu, was described by The Niche Reference as "an unusual, captivating release" with "galacial synths and 80s feel." It is from her second album, The Things We Do for Love.
Bizu has earned industry plaudits from the BBC Sound of... and BRITs Critics Choice, as well as support slots for Coldplay and Rudimental. "Faded" is a song about the push and pull of a relationship, about the feeling of being high and low at the same time.
The lyrics are full of the kind of emotional honesty that makes the best pop songs work. The narrator talks about the lie it would be to leave without a goodbye, and about the feeling of being faded. It is a song about the complexity of love, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both smooth and powerful.
What stays with me is how the song makes a familiar feeling feel new. It is a song about the push and pull of a relationship, and it is delivered with a sincerity that is hard to ignore.
