Slipping Away

(album: Precious - 2023)

If I could hold you again I would
Gotta lay down my pride
You brought out the best of me
When I was broken inside

Now the lines on my face
Paint it so clear
I was different then
The truth is I don't wanna be friends no more

I feel myself slipping away

Slipping away from you
So, God only knows
Slipping away from you
God only knows

It's been about six months
I'm at the gate drinking whiskey
Gotta go, I'm boarding my plane
And all I hope, all I hope is that you miss me
And you know I've finally changed the rules in me

Slipping away from you
God only knows
Yeah, baby
Slipping away from you
Oh, oh, yeah
God only knows
I guess I should've been there, there, there

All these lonely nights
Killing me inside
It's killing me inside, woman
And it might take some time
But maybe we should try
Give it one more try
Babe, come on

Hold me closely next to your heart
I promise I'll keep you close to mine
Oh, baby, just
Hold me closely next to your heart
I promise I'll keep you close to mine

Give me your love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Boy, you know what I want
Oh, baby

Gonna give me your love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Said I can't go with or without you, baby
Boy, you know what I want
Ooh, ooh
