Sliding Away
Hoffmaestro Lyrics

I told her that I had a cold heart from the start
I informed her early on that I am not one to get attached easily

So don't come cryin' when it all falls apart
Don't be upset when our relationship ends because I warned you beforehand

It's not that I don't like you at all
I do have some feelings for you, but I'm not ready for anything serious

But trust me when I don't wanna get to involved
Believe me when I say that getting too involved is not what I want right now

Time passed, she said I trust you to know
As time went on, she put her faith in me to make the right decisions

Don't play around town with me waiting by the phone
Don't cheat on me while I'm waiting for your call

I knew I had a great girl at home
I was aware of how amazing my girlfriend was

But sometimes my bone has a mind of it's own
But sometimes I can't control my urges

And one day I took a shower at a place
One day, I took a shower at a location other than my own

I came out butt-naked got my phone thrown in my face
I emerged from the shower naked and she threw my phone at me in anger

She was yelling and crying why I'd been lyin'
She was upset and asking why I had been dishonest

I stopped dead in my tracks like a stuttering fool
I was stunned and speechless, unsure of what to say

I could've tried my best to convince her to stay
I could have made an effort to persuade her to remain in the relationship

But I saw in her eyes there was nothing I could say
But when I looked into her eyes, I knew it was too late to fix things

I let her slide away
I allowed her to leave and end our relationship

Can't believe I let her slide
I can't believe I didn't fight to keep her

I always thought that I had a cold heart
I used to believe that I was not capable of feeling deeply

But now I really know how it feels when it all falls apart
But now that it's over, I understand the pain of heartbreak

I guess things didin't I planned
I suppose things didn't work out the way I had hoped

I'm home making love to my own right hand
I am alone, resorting to self-pleasure for intimacy

I feel trapped and I'm climbing the walls
I feel trapped and restless, unable to move on

And she won't pick up when I call
She is ignoring my attempts to reach out to her

I played a fool of myself
I made a mistake and look like a fool

It didin't cross my mind she would find somebody else
I didn't consider the possibility that she would move on to someone else

She took her friend's advice and broadened her horizon
She listened to her friend's advice and started exploring other options

I tried to steal her back from her new boyfriend
I attempted to win her back from her new partner

But appearently his fairly known in MMA
But apparently, her new boyfriend is skilled in mixed martial arts

I had to let her slide away
I had no choice but to let her go and move on

It all keeps sliding away
Everything is slipping out of my grasp

I said it all keeps sliding away
I am acknowledging that everything is constantly falling apart
