Slip Away Lyrics - Light Up The Dark - Gabrielle Aplin

Locked inside my mind, passing time 

With nothing to lose 

Trying to find a reason to fight 

With nothing to prove 

I've been waiting for the light to glow 

Waiting for the love to show 

Waiting for you 

I'm just laying in the fading light 

Waiting for the chance to strike 

Waiting for you 

But it's never right 

It's never good enough for you 

Can't speak my mind 

'Cause you don't want to hear the truth 

You only tell me 

What you want me to say 

You've made your point 

But I can't do this myself 

How could you do this to me? 

It's getting harder to breathe 

Can't hold me down 

Can't drown me out 

'Cause I'll slip away slowly 

The closer you hold me 

Temporary moments of flight 

Distorting the view 

Visionaries chasing me 

Hides for something to do 

When everything's been done before 

You're still knocking at my door 

Begging for more 

When you're spinning me another line 

Thinking I'll just take them blind 

Is that all I'm for? 

But it's never right 

It's never good enough for you 

Can't speak my mind 

'Cause you don't want to hear the truth 

You only tell me 

What you want me to say 

You've made your point 

But I can't do this myself 

How could you do this to me? 

It's getting harder to breathe 

Can't hold me down 

Can't drown me out 

'Cause I'll slip away slowly 

The closer you hold me 

How could you do this to me? 

It's getting harder to breathe 

Can't hold me out 

Can't drown me out 

'Cause I'll slip away slowly 

The closer you hold me
