drained away
Slowly left completely
Drained away describes liquid or substance gradually flowing out and disappearing: The bathwater drained away.
Figuratively, it captures the slow departure of energy, hope, color, or strength: Her enthusiasm drained away as the meeting dragged on, The color drained away from his face.
The phrase emphasizes gradual, often irreversible loss.
