"Slippin Away" lyrics

"Slippin Away"

I went to your door
You said there's nobody home
But, babe, the lights are all on
So tell me what the fuck is going on?
Wrote you a note
Hearts in your name on my phone
Been shoving love down your throat
But now I'm thinking maybe I made you choke

Deep down know I'm not your honey
I'm not tapped, I won't boil your bunny
I'm just sad 'cause I tried too hard
Smothered you with love and pushed you away

I can't help it
Crush instead of giving her space
She can't take it, ooh, and now she's slipping away
I squeeze harder, squeeze until we both suffocate
She's irritated, ooh, and now she's slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

I freed up my time
Told all my friends that you're mine
And on my wall there's a shrine
Of every picture that I took of us
Gave you a fright
When I called to say goodnight
I guess that you didn't like
The way I thought I'd be the only one

I shoot shots, but they twist your tummy
I'm exposed, now you think I'm nutty
I'm just sad 'cause I tried too hard
Smothered you with love and pushed you away

I can't help it
Crush instead of giving her space
She can't take it, ooh, and now she's slipping away
I squeeze harder, squeeze until we both suffocate
She's irritated, ooh, and now she's slipping away
Slipping away
