You didn’t say goodbye, you didn’t say you’re done,
But my mind keeps telling me I’m losing someone.
I know you’re still here, I know you still care,
But fear gets so loud when I’m alone with my head.

{Pre-Chorus}
And I hate that I can’t tell
What’s real and what I make myself believe,
You’re holding onto me,
While I’m scared you’re getting ready to leave.

{Chorus}
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
Even when you’re telling me you’re gonna stay, you’re gonna stay
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
But maybe it’s just my heart getting in the way.
You’re not walking out, you’re not letting go,
But my mind makes a movie that I already know.
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
When you’re really right here with me anyway.

{Verse 2}
I notice every little change in the way you text,
Then I turn one simple “okay” into “what happens next?”
You take a little longer, and I start to assume
That you’re finding an exit while I’m stuck in the room.

You tell me that you love me, and I know that you do,
But my brain keeps whispering, “What if it’s not true?”
I wish I could believe you without needing a sign,
Instead I keep searching for a reason you’re not mine.

{Pre-Chorus}
And I hate that I can’t tell
If I’m feeling the truth or just feeling afraid,
You’re giving me forever,
While I’m scared forever could fade.

{Chorus}
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
Even when you’re telling me you’re gonna stay.
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
But maybe it’s just my heart getting in the way.
You’re not walking out, you’re not letting go,
But my mind makes a movie that I already know.
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
When you’re really right here with me anyway.

{Bridge}
Maybe love isn’t leaving,
Maybe I’m just scared to lose,
Maybe every little distance
Isn’t something I have to choose.
You’re still here in the morning,
Still the person I run to,
And maybe all this fear is just
My mind trying to protect me from losing you.

So if I say, “Are you leaving?”
Just remind me that you’re not.
If I start believing endings,
Tell me we’re still what we’ve got.
I know you’re not disappearing,
I know you’re not saying goodbye,
I’m just fighting all the voices
That get louder in my mind.

{Final Chorus}
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
Even though you’re right here and you’re choosing to stay.
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
But I’m learning that fear doesn’t always know the way.
You’re not walking out, you’re not letting go,
And maybe I don’t have to believe every thought that I know.
I feel you slipping away, slipping away,
Then I look at you and realize you stayed.

{Outro}
You stayed, you stayed,
When my mind said you would go.
You stayed, you stayed,
And maybe now I finally know—
Sometimes love feels like it’s slipping away,
When it’s been holding you the whole damn day.

{Verse 1} You got quiet for a minute, now I’m reading into everything, Wondering if your “I love you” doesn’t mean the same thing. You’re right beside me, but somehow you feel far, And I’m counting every silence like it’s breaking my heart. You didn’t say goodbye, you didn’t say you’re done, But my mind keeps telling me I’m losing someone.
