Slip Away (R&B breakup Song)

Intro-Spoken

Yeah…

I used to think I knew what love was

‘Til it walked away from me

Now I’m laying here with these thoughts

And they don’t let me sleep

Verse 1

I remember how you waited up

Every time I stayed out late

Had dinner cold on the counter

But you still had a smile on your face

I was too busy chasing nothing

Too blind to see the truth

You were giving me your whole heart

While I was giving half to you

You kept saying, “Baby, talk to me”

But I ain’t wanna open up

I thought being a man meant

Never showing I was stuck

Now I see it wasn’t strength

It was just my pride

And pride don’t hold you at night

When the love is gone outside

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m sitting in this empty room

Trying to figure out

How the one who held me down

Is the one I’m without

And it’s crazy how

It all makes sense right now

Chorus

That was the kind of love

That don’t come twice

The kind that holds you steady

When you’re losing your mind

The kind that stays loyal

Even when you’re wrong

I didn’t know what I had

‘Til all I had was gone

That was the kind of love

I’ll never find again

Now I’m learning the hard way

What it really meant

Yeah… I had it in my hands

But I let it slip away

Verse 2

Now there’s no “Did you make it home?”

No “Baby, drive safe”

No one praying for me

Before they close their eyes in faith

The side of the bed stays cold

Pillows don’t smell the same

Your picture still on my phone

But it don’t hit the same

I see you shining without me

And I can’t even lie

You look happier in your smile

And that’s what kills me inside

‘Cause I could’ve been the reason

You felt safe every night

Instead I gave you reasons

To finally say goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m sitting in this silence

Thinking ‘bout your touch

How the only one who loved me right

I didn’t love enough

And it’s crazy how

It all makes sense right now

Chorus

That was the kind of love

That don’t come twice

The kind that holds you steady

When you’re losing your mind

The kind that stays loyal

Even when you’re wrong

I didn’t know what I had

‘Til all I had was gone

That was the kind of love

I’ll never find again

Now I’m learning the hard way

What it really meant

Yeah… I had it in my hands

But I let it slip away

Bridge

If I could turn back time

I’d hold you closer

Listen more, fight less

And never let my ego control us

Ooh yeah yeah

End
