slip away Lyrics

I love watching me slip away

You've forgotten that you missed me every day

I love watching you go away

But at night in the mirror I see your face

I've been thinking lately

That your words cradled me

I remember the first night you cried

And I hope you weren't lying when you said you were hurting

I hope I wasn't alone that night

I hope you do what I do

And that every morning

We check our phones for replies

And I'm still hoping

For that number calling

It's deleted but I have it memorized

I know it's not good to keep craving you holding on so tight

But I thought I could save you

Fulfill our promise of "one day"

Now I only see you behind my eyes

Please don't

Slip away

Don't slip away

Please don't

Please don't slip away

I wish you would come find me

I wish you would stop chasing this idea of yourself

Who's somewhere idly walking

While I'm idolizing

This boy who showed me his hell

You disvalue honesty

But were you proud to take me

From a happy soul

To a shell?

I ask the crowd if you're guilty

You'd die to swear that you're living your life and doing well

And I can't watch you

Smiling in those photographs I put on my top shelf

And I'm still hoping

That it's your voice calling

When I hear my name in a crowd

And I'm doing so good

With my promise that I would stop holding on so tight

But I write with the ocean

And I sing to daisies

And I still want you tonight

Please don't

Slip away

Don't slip away

Please don't

Please don't slip away

I wake up still hearing the sound of your voice breaking

And every song tainted by you and me

And I miss the midnight fall wind

Stood next to you at dusk and

September never used to mean this much to me

Please don't

Slip away

Don't slip away

Please don't

Please don't slip

September never used to mean so much to me
