slipping away

step inside and spend some time
is this ours or is it mine
can I sense your look your eyes
or is it nights I've drank away
searching for something right to say
you're somewhere else someone else
slipping away

step inside these open arms
wrapped with fear and jealous pride
you are not here but seem so close
I hear your voice and ask for more
missing this moment slipping away
as you did before

till next time it's a broken line
of tenderness of knowing smiles
you make me forget and then regret
that you are turning away
and leaving me blind
look for me give me a sign

wanting you to love me
broke the spell tossed aside
being at ease daring to tease
being with you is now just a thought
that comes to me then fades away
you're somewhere else someone else
slipping away
