Lyrics
Slip Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I forget about the girl who said no
I tell who I want where to go
I forget about your lies and deceit
And your attempt to be so discreet
Maybe today, yeah
I slip away
And you can keep your symbols of success
I pursued my own happiness
You can keep your clock and routine
Then I go mend all my shattered dreams
Maybe today, yeah
And I slip away
Ooh, slip away
'Cause you've been down on me far too long
And far too long I just put you on
I'm tired of lying
And I'm, I'm sick of trying
'Cause I'm losing who I really am
Oh
I'm gonna slip away, baby
Oh, maybe tomorrow
Whenever
Ooh
Ah
Come on, let me be me
Ooh
I'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired
