You Slipped Away
Love's Fading Echo: You Slipped Away by Andy Shauf
Lyrics
You stayed a while
You were present for a duration
And pulled my world apart
Your presence caused disruption in my life
There was love in my heart
Love was in my emotions
And I wanted it to stay
I desired the love to endure
But as the night, surely turns to day
Despite hopes, changes are inevitable
You slipped away
You departed from my life
It was my guess
My assumption was incorrect
That I would make a mess
I anticipated making a mess
There was love in my heart
Love still existed within me
Though you needed a rest
You needed a break
Just like the sun, hiding from the shade
Similar to the sun avoiding darkness
You slipped away
You departed again
I used to think
I used to believe in my strength
That I could stand up straight
Love was present, but now I struggle
There was love in my heart
Love was in my heart
But now I just can't relate
Connection is lost
So like a dream, fading through the day
Similar to a fading dream in the day
You slipped away
You slipped away again
So here I sit
I find myself contemplating
Smoking my last cigarette
Engaging in my last cigarette
With this love in my heart
Love remains with me
That I just can't regret
No regrets despite the love
So I think, I might have a drink
Contemplating having a drink
And slip away
Choosing to escape or detach
