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

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
