× Let Me Slip Away ×

female vocals, sad, slow, acoustic, somber, folk, harmonica, piano, soft layered harmony

I heard your quiet words
like snow against the door...
I say there’s nothing left
but I still feel you
 in my core...
deep...
 in my core...
and I keep reaching for the silence
you keep burying me in...

Your whisper hit my chest
like an echo out of time
you said you feel me fading
but the truth is...
 so do I...
it’s not that I don’t love you
God...
my heart is fraying thin-
but staying here in these circles...
is a war 
I’ll never win

I hope you understand
I really do..
this isn’t giving up
it’s choosing what I need to heal
when love just isn’t enough

So please…
please don’t think I planned this
please…
please know it breaks me too
I’m leaving
not to hurt you
no...
I’m leaving ’cause I have to
I’m leaving ’cause I’ll drown...
 if I stay with you...

I tried to hold the pieces
of the things we couldn’t fix
I tried to warm the spaces...
that grew colder

you used to be my safe place-
now we’re just ghosts
(" inside these walls")
and loving you...
is heavy,
in a way that makes me fall...
("i'm falling down")

I need to save the part of me
that’s getting lost in pain...
("please...")
I need to find my breath again...
("before I fade away")

So please…
please don’t think I planned this
please…
please know it breaks me too
I’m leaving-
not to hurt you...
I’m leaving ’cause I have to...
I’m leaving ’cause...
 I’ll drown if I stay with you...

If I keep standing here...
I’ll disappear inside the dark
I’ll lose the girl I used to be...
the one you loved at the start
so I’m walking toward a sunrise
even if it’s dim and far...
I hope you find a gentler light..
than where our shadows are...

So please…
please don’t make me choose again
please…
please let me slip away...
I’m leaving
with a breaking heart...
but I’m leaving just the same
I’m leaving ’cause I have to
not because I feel no pain...
("please...")
