Slip Away Lyrics
No more questions no more lies
Do a deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
Waiting patient for the sun to rise
It reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
You find me waiting here for you
Come and suffer here
You find me holding my breath for you
Come and suffer here
In the violence of a mind's eye
We had a deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
Go gently now
Be still and love
Go gently now
Be still and love
Go gently now
Be still
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you
Do a deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
It reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
Come and suffer here
You find me holding my breath for you
Come and suffer here
We had a deal for no surprises
'Cause you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
I know you better than you
But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
Be still and love
Go gently now
Be still and love
Go gently now
Be still
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you

This song to me is about being around someone struggling with addiction. Being a sober addict myself I relate this to my loved ones when I was in the madness. Love this song. Bravo x
