You Slipped Away - Andy Shauf

You stayed a while

And pulled my world apart

There was love in my heart

And i wanted it to stay

But as the night, surely turns to day

You slipped away

It was my guess

That i would make a mess

There was love in my heart

Though you needed a rest

Just like the sun, hiding from the shade

You slipped away

I used to think

That i could stand up straight

There was love in my heart

But now i just can’t relate

So like a dream, fading through the day

You slipped away

So here i sit

Smoking my last cigarette

With this love in my heart

That i just can’t regret

So i think, I might have a drink

And slip away
