Slipping Away
J.L.T Lyrics

I seen the lights before you
I witnessed your potential and greatness before anyone else did.

I watched you claim them as your own
I observed as you took credit for your achievements and believed in your own success.

I seen the covenants you made
I recognized the promises and commitments you made to yourself and others.

With god and the secrets they hold
You made vows and kept them secret, possibly involving spiritual or personal beliefs.

Yet why you never come to me
But why did you never seek solace, support, or love from me?

Why you never call my name
Why did you not acknowledge or reach out to me when you needed someone?

I gave you everything
I offered you my complete devotion and support.

Was everything in vain
However, it seems that all my efforts and sacrifices were meaningless or worthless.

Then you said to me
And then you told me

Baby
My dear

We aren't meant to be
We are not destined to be together

And I see things differently
And I have a different perspective or understanding of our situation

We could try but you're slipping away
We could attempt to salvage our relationship, but you're gradually drifting apart from me.

I think we could be yeah
I believe that we have the potential to be a great couple.

But you think different
But you have a contrasting viewpoint

Can we try a different way
Can we explore an alternative approach or solution?

Cause you're slipping away
Because you're gradually losing your connection or bond with me.

And I want you next to me
And I desire your presence and companionship.

I didn't see you calling but I wanna see you right now
I failed to notice your attempts to reach out to me, but I desperately want to see you at this moment.

I know that this may be conflicting with your mind
I understand that this request might go against your thoughts or desires.

Come on back to me
Please return to me.

Why are you my idol, was our love a phase
Why did I hold you in such high regard? Was our love just a temporary and fleeting experience?

It seems to me you don't care if the world turns a page
It appears that you are indifferent to the changes and events happening in the world.

As I leave my world for you
As I sacrifice my own world and prioritize you in my life.

Not thinking about what I gave
Without considering the extent of my sacrifices or what I have given up.

So reckless was I delusional to your sweet charade
I was foolish and completely blind to your deceptive and manipulative behavior.

But gradually I'm dying inside
However, slowly, I am losing my will to live or be happy.

Unsure of where I reside
I am uncertain of my place or purpose in life.

Passions slipping while I seem to wonder
My passions and desires are fading away as I remain in a state of confusion.

Wheres my life
Where has my life gone?

I ask you please just take a look at me
I implore you to genuinely see and understand me.

So I can see
So that I can gain clarity and insight

The way things were and how we used to be
The way our relationship used to be, filled with love and happiness.

And I want you next to me...
And I long for your presence and closeness to me.

Slipping away
Gradually losing our connection or relationship.
