Slipping Away

Mariah Carey

So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping away
From the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
You're
So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast
It seems you know
You're slipping away from me

I keep on reaching
And I keep on trying
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me, baby
I keep on yearning
And I guess I'm learning
That it's just a losing fight
'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping away
From the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
You're
So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast
It seems you know
You're slipping away from me

I keep denying that our love is dying
But it's all a big charade
And it's a fruitless game to play
I can't remember when
You last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone

So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping away
From the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
You're
So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast
It seems you know
You're slipping away from me

Away, away
Away, away
Away

Further, further
Ooh yeah

You're so far

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby, you're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby, you're slipping away from me

You're so far

So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping away
Tell you, I just don't understand
You're
So far
So far you're slipping away
Away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast
It seems you know
You're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby, you're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby, you're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby, you're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
