Slipped Away

I dreamt last night, you called my name
It felt like something so far away
Your voice was soft, a fleeting spark
A light that guided me in the dark

In that dream, you weren't gone
Not the echo you'd become
You were here, in a way that I had not seen in years
I reached for the friend I thought I lost
Felt your warmth within the dark
And my heart wished you could stay
But you slipped away
Slipped away
Slipped away
Slipped away

The morning came, and you were gone
Just like the way you've been for so long
I tell myself I'm doing fine
But I cling to the past left behind

In that dream, you weren't gone
Not the echo you'd become
You were here, in a way that I had not seen in years
I've waited long for you to hear
Hold my hand, don't disappear
Stay with me, I cannot lose you again
Please, don't slip away
Don't slip away
Please, don't slip away
Don't slip away
