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
