[Verse 1]
[Carl Thomas]
I always dreamed that everything would be okay
With me and you, but I was wrong
When I looked into your eyes, I didn't see all the things
I used to see, what's going on?

[Faith Evans]
You gave me reasons to believe
That we were always meant to be
But now I see, you were wrong
You can't keep running back to me
With all those baby, baby pleases, no more, no more
(Never imagined...)

[Chorus: Faith Evans & Carl Thomas]
Never imagined you would be a faded picture
I'm emotional (I'm emotional)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional (so emotional)

[Verse 2: Faith Evans]
I can't forget that night I saw you in the corner
Wrapped up tight, you were warm
Slow dancing on the floor while I was watching
From the door so hurt, there you were
You gave me reasons to believe
That we were always meant to be
But now I see, you were wrong
You can't keep running back to me
With all those baby, baby pleases no more, no more

[Chorus: Faith Evans & Carl Thomas]
Never imagined you would be
A faded picture
I'm emotional (I'm emotional)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional

[Bridge: Faith Evans & Carl Thomas]
You had your chance (had your chance)
But you threw it all away (yes, you did)
Thought you had my love always
Oh baby, I don't understand
How you think that we could stay
In total unhappiness (unhappiness)

[Chorus: Faith Evans & Carl Thomas]
Never imagined you would be a faded picture
I'm emotional (I'm emotional)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional (it's official, I'm emotional)

Never imagined you would be a faded picture
(no more baby, baby, please)
I'm emotional (you threw it all away)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional (it's official)

Never imagined you would be a faded picture
I'm emotional
(just a faded picture, faded picture) (gotta leave you, baby)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional (baby, could you hear me, oh)

Never imagined you would be a faded picture
I'm emotional
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional (it's official, I'm emotional)

Never imagined you would be a faded picture
I'm emotional (never imagined, oh)
It's so believing, your deceiving, it's official
I'm emotional

[Outro: Carl Thomas]
Yes, I'm looking at the front door, baby, whoa
So, so, so very emotional
Baby, I'm emotional

Faith Evans is a singer-songwriter-producer who was the first lady of Bad Boy Entertainment and former wife of the label’s star, The Notorious B.I.G.

After working as a background singer for Al B. Sure!, Faith was writing songs and singing background for artists such as Mary J. Blige, Usher, and Tony Thompson before releasing her own debut album, Faith, in 1995. The album was certified platinum and featured the gold singles “You Used To Love Me” and “Soon As I Get Home”. After Biggie’s murder on March 9, 1997, Faith—along with Puff Daddy and 112—paid tribute to him on the #1 pop single “I’ll Be Missing You”, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1998.

Her second album, Keep the Faith, also achieved platinum status and featured the gold single “Love Like This”. She left Bad Boy after her third album, Faithfully, and released several albums through multiple labels, including the 2017 duet project, The King & I, which mixed her vocals with acapellas from The Notorious B.I.G. She appeared in the 2003 movie The Fighting Temptations, as well as the reality television shows R&B Divas and Love & Hip Atlanta.
