Slip Away
M.C. Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I still alive when I cry
Mama, I need you, I don't wanna leave you

Can I see you, when I close my eyes
I don't want to leave you, I don't want to die

Will you find me where I die
Mama, I need you, I don't know why
Mama, I need you, I don't want to die

Why am I alive just to cry




Mama, I need you, I just want to see you
As I slip away
