Slipping Away lyrics

So far, so far, you're slipping away, away

You're slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

You're so far, so far, so far, you're slipping away, away

You're slipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast

It seems

You know you're slipping away from me

I keep on reaching

And I, I keep on trying

But you never even hold me

And it seems like you don't know me, baby

I keep on yearning

And I, I guess I'm learning

That it's just a losing fight

'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

So far, so far, you're slipping away, away

Slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

You're so far, so far, so far, you're slipping away, away

Slipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast

It seems

You know you're slipping away from me

I keep denying

That our, our love is dying

But it's all a big charade

And it's a fruitless game to play

I can't remember

When you, you last were tender

And it's always touch and go

The silence chills me to the bone

So far, so far, you're slipping away, away

You're slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

You're so far, so far, so far, you're slipping away, away

Slipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast

It seems

You know you're slipping away from me

Further, further, further, further

You're so far

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be? Where?

Baby, you're slipping away from me

You are so far

From me, baby, baby

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slipping away from me

You are so far

So far, so far, you're slipping away, away

Slipping away from what we had

Truly, I just don't understand

You're so far, so far, so far, you're slipping away, away

You're slipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading so fast

It seems

You know you're slipping away from me

(×5):

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slipping away from me
