The day you slipped away

I knew that you had slipped away
and learned that love was just a pain
i saw you loosening your grip
and suddenly you let go of it

i felt it as you slipped away
like a bomb that went off in my heart
and you tore me into smithereins
you broke my soul apart

a love i thought would prosper
instead, a love that ends in pain
a love i thought immortal
but still managed to slip away

the day you slipped away
it was the day i knew i'd drown in pain
the day you slipped away
was when i found no one could take your place
