Slipping Sideways
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.
(It's another Tequila sunrise)
You say you'll never understand
Old friends are getting in your hair
Why don't they leave you to the simple life you planned
How can they love what you don't let them share
You met the one above your life (for the tenth time)
It's such a shame she's still his wife
A minor setback just another cross to bare (for the enth time)
On a road that's filled with crosses everywhere
You sure look happy, it breaks my heart
Cos you think that you're making, another brand new start
Just slipping sideways, into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard when, there's no one left to hurt
Your friends all gave you space and time (you know they gave you space and time)
A self respect and change of mind
Oh this is it you cried I've got to start a new
Then you carried on just like you always do
But sure look happy, it breaks my heart
Cos you think that you're making, another brand new start
Just slipping sideways, into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard when, there's no one left to hurt
Oh your slipping sideways into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard babe, there's no one left to hurt
But sure look happy, it breaks my heart
Cos you think that you're making, another brand new start
