Slipped Away Songtext
von Fredlite

You said dreamin′ is for sleepers
It won't take you anywhere
Why can′t you be more like your brother
You can't be livin' on a prayer

I know you meant to protect me
From disappointment and resent
But I needed appreciation
Not your constant malcontent

I haven′t talked to you in ages
Since we had our falling out
Didn′t answer when you called me
Looking back I was way too proud


All I wanted was to show you
That I had what it takes
I was just about to call you
When you suddenly passed away
Passed away

Now I'll never get to tell you
All the things I longed to say
Nothing left but the silence
And the words that slipped away

Deep inside I hope you′re watching
From wherever you may be
That I've got your appreciation
For who I am and the life I lead

All I wanted was to show you
That I had what it takes
I was longing for validation
And a little encouragement

All I wanted was to show you
That I had what it takes
I just wanted appreciation
For who I am and the life I lead
