Slippin' Away

from 10​,​000 Jalama Road by Ché Zuro

/

lyrics

You showed me I could have all of the world
By sharing all your possibilities.
But then you went 'round and closed all my open doors
And squeezed me so blind I couldn't see.
You want the answers in black and white
But baby, there are no guarantees.

chorus Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY
And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay
You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way
SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love.

You said that you'd never leave me
Well I didn't know that meant you'd never leave me alone
You tried so hard to please me
Well I guess that I was better off out on my own
You tried to pull me back one last time
I ain't no dog on a leash!

Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY
And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay
You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way,
SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love.

bridge I know that lovin' ain't easy
And expectations aren't fair
Your life ain't my responsibility
I can't always be there....

I understand you're lonely
But you can't see I need to take my time.
You want me for your one and only
But my own freedom's too important to hide.
You try to pull me back one last time
I ain't no dog on a leash.

Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY
And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay
You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way
SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love
SLIPPIN' AWAY.
