Slip Away

Charles Bradley

I forget about the girl who said no
I tell who I want where to go
I forget about your lies and deceit
And your attempt to be so discreet

Maybe today, yeah
I slip away

And you can keep your symbols up, (?)
I pursued my own happiness
You can keep your clock and routine
Then I can mend my own shattered dreams

Maybe today, yeah
And I slip away
Ooh, slip away

'Cause you've been down on me far too long
And far too long I just put you on
I'm tired of lying
And I'm, I'm sick of trying
'Cause I'm losing who I really am

Oh
I'm gonna slip away, baby
Yeah, maybe tomorrow
Whenever
Ooh
Ah
Come on, let me be me
Ooh
I'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired
