Lyrics
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Introduction of someone entering subtly, like a whisper, during the night.
Gone forever, seems you were right
Expressing the feeling of permanent departure, acknowledging that the person was indeed correct in leaving.
Long ago, thought it was real
Reflecting on a past time when the singer believed the connection to be genuine.
Should've believed love's not forever
Regret for not realizing earlier that love doesn't last forever.
I'm slippin' away
Repeated expression of slipping away, struggling to maintain a connection.
Can't seem to hold on
-I'm slippin' away
-Darkness comes, so cold
Introduction of darkness, symbolizing emotional coldness and distance.
Gentle one, so soft and warm
Describing a gentle and warm person, the singer attempting to connect without harm.
I tried to touch you, I meant you no harm

Can't seem to hold on
-I'm slippin' away

I'm slippin' away
Continued expression of the difficulty in holding on.
Can't seem to hold one
Repeating the challenge of holding on, emphasizing the struggle.
Save me
Plea for salvation or rescue from the emotional descent.
Save me
-Save me
-Like a whisper, you came in the night
Repetition of the initial scenario, reinforcing the sense of loss and regret.
Gone forever, seems you were right
