Yes, you can.
You may also wish to review your word choice. Falter, in addition to losing strength or momentum, also carries a sense of becoming hesitant or unsteady, stumbling. If you only mean faded or weakened, those might be you best choices. But if you wish to convey unsteadiness or hesitation in addition to losing strength, then falter is the right choice.
