Slippin' Away

(album: Nocturnal - 2012)

[Verse Ia]
I don't want you to go even if you're telling me
You've gotten over me girl
Cuz lately I realized without you
I can't live another day

[Verse Ib (Rap)]
So do we try to make this work or do we part ways
Cuz as much as it hurts, what we have's worth all the pain flowing through the blood in my veins
And it's not enough, feel the melody of love through the beat of my heart
We can never be apart, from the lands to the seas, to the stars, wherever you are

[Chorus I]
Girl just hear me out, cuz I got something to say
You hear me calling but still walking away
This pain inside just won't go away
Babe I can't watch you slipping away

[Verse IIa (Rap)]
Dark Man X, I'm slipping
Grip on my heart, tapped out from submission
Better provision is what her heart's wishing
But she don't seem to understand my position
I admit, I don't have what it takes
To serve and provide what she wants on her plate
So I put her in place, then I'm closing the gates
Locking the chains, no intention to wait, wait

[Verse IIb]
Should've treated you better
Had I known from the start
There'd be distance between us
I would have kept us from growing apart
And I apologize
I'd do whatever that it takes girl
If I can keep you from going away

[Chorus II]
Girl just hear me out, cuz I got something to say
You hear me calling but still walking away
This pain inside just won't go away
Babe I can't watch you slipping away

[Bridge]
Girl did you really get over me
I won't find another 'nother
Cuz I need you here close to me
My one and only lover lover
What I gotta do for you to stay
My heart beats for you night and day
Fallen astray the day you've gone away, girl

[Chorus III]
Girl just hear me out, cuz I got something to say
You hear me calling but still walking away
This pain inside just won't go away
Babe I can't watch you slipping away
I don't want you to go even if you're telling me
You've gotten over me girl
