Slip Away

Sitting all alone in this darkened room

With a drink in my hand thinking of you

It’s sad to say but it happens every night

As the ice melts away, I feel my drink slip

Further down my hand, I have no grip

I think about the days when I was okay

I slip away when I start to think of you

I slip away when I start to feel blue

I slip away when I start to recall memories

No matter what I do, I always seem to lose

Myself for awhile in this lonely room

I can’t help it, it’s the only thing I know to do

I pour another glass and I quickly drink it down

Trying to erase all the things you did to me

But I can’t seem to make them strong enough

I slip away when I start to think of you

I slip away when I start to feel blue

I slip away when I start to recall memories

As I finish this bottle of the Captain’s finest rum

I can feel the grip he holds on my tongue

And for a moment, I feel fine

I know that when I wake, it’ll all be okay

Your memories will fade, like the ice in my drink

I won’t need to worry; I’ll just let you slip away.....

I slip away when I start to think of you

I slip away when I start to feel blue

I slip away when I start to recall memories
