Slip Away(Quarantined)
One night I was breakin’ it off
‘Cause the whole damn time I was takin’ the fall, yeah
One night I was breakin’ it off
Had a hard time knowin’ you were fakin’ it all, yeah
One life and no death can save me
Stop what’s happening
You can’t break my back and then expect me to stay
'Til I pay one last time
Get your love on the run, look what you done
I’m not the one who owes you
Why can’t you see what it’s doing to me
Well I want to hear you say
I wish you let me slip away
One night you were shakin’ me down
‘Cause the whole damn time you were breakin’ me down, yeah
One night you were takin’ me south
And the whole damn town
It was makin’ the sound of yeah, yeah
No light is hopeless, can’t blame this
Game of sudden death
So I’m taking back the life I gave away
Today I’m on fire
Get your love on the run, look what you done
I’m not the one who owes you
Why can’t you see what it’s doing to me
Well I want to hear you say
Wish you let me slip away, slip away
Let me slip away, slip away
So get your love on the run, look what you done
I’m not the one who owes you
Why can’t you see what it’s doing to me
Well I want to hear you say, I want to hear you say
You got your love on the run, look what you done
I’m not the one who owes you, I know you
Why can’t you see what it’s doing to me
Well I‘ve got to hear you say
Wish you let me slip away
