Below, you will find the lyrics for Slipping Away (1996) by Mariah Carey.
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, i'm so afraid
So far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
When you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me
Verse 1
I keep on reaching and i
I keep on trying
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me, baby
I keep on yearning and i
I guess i'm learning
That it's just a losing fight
'cause there's no passion in your eyes
You're slipping away, away
Slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, i'm so afraid
So far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away
Slipping right out of my grasp
When you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me
Verse 2
I keep denying that our
Our love is dying
But it's all a big charade
And it's a fruitless game to play
I can't remember when you
You last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, i'm so afraid
So far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away
Slipping right out of my grasp
When you're fading fast it seems
When you're slipping away from me
Away, away, away, away, yeah
Hey, yeah
Further, further
Ooh, yeah
You're so far
Bridge
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
You're slipping away, away
Slipping away from what we had
Truly, i just don't understand
So far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
When you're fading so fast it seems
You know you're slipping away
Bridge
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
Outro
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
Time after time i reach for you
Try and i try, but you're so aloof
