slip away
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
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?

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
