Slip Away

Tell it to me slow
Find the breath you need to make
The choice whose life to take
Or heart you want to break
I won't hear the words
Baby, won't you say good night?
Why don't you pick up the phone
And tell me you're home
So I can sleep tonight?

Instead I
Just lie awake and dream
Suddenly in between
The life you want
And the one you can't erase
And I
I'm fraying at the seams
Trying to keep a grasp at what we have
As you can just watch it all decay

And I don't hear the right
Door's open for the light
You won't guide the way
You won't guide the way
Is it worth the fight
If we don't make it through the night?
You let it slip away
You let it slip away

And here we are
It doesn't feel like it's the end
We're strangers once again
So close and yet so far
I wanna hear the words
Baby, won't you say hello?
Look me in the eyes
And tell me that you
Want me and me alone

I guess it's only in my dreams
I never want to be
Someone who stands in front of
Where you want to be
And I
Hope that you could see
That ou were always free to go
I am not the one who
Wanted you to leave

And I don't hear the right
Door's open for the light
You won't guide the way
You won't guide the way
Is it worth the fight
If we don't make it through the night?
You let it slip away
You let me slip away

And I don't hear the right
Door's open for the light
You won't guide the way
You won't guide the way
Is it worth the fight
If we don't make it through the night?
You let it slip away
You let me slip away
You let me slip away

Is it worth the fight
If we don't make it through the night?
You let it slip away
You let me slip away
