Love Slipped Outward - Aliza
Love slipped outward
We used to talk until the sunrise came
Now we barely say each other's names
Your eyes don't meet mine like before
Like something walked out the door
Your hand in mine feels unfamiliar
Like we're strangers getting nearer
But not in the way we used to be
Just two hearts in quiet gravity
No big fight
No crashing sound
Just a love slowly
Leaving town
Love slipped outward
Right through our hands
No storm, no warning
No final stand
Just a quiet drifting apart
Like the tide pulled from our hearts
We didn't shout, we didn't fall
Love just slipped beyond it all
Your laugh feels softer, less like home
Even when we're not alone
We sit side by side in the dark
Two fading sparks, one tired heart
Our words feel careful, thin and light
Like you're already out of sight
And every kiss we try to fake
Feels like a promise we can't make
No slamming doors
No broken glass
Just a love fading
Slow and fast
Love slipped outward
Right through our hands
No storm, no warning
No final stand
Just a quiet drifting apart
Like the tide pulled from our hearts
We didn't shout, we didn't fall
Love just slipped beyond it all
Maybe we were too gentle, too gray
Too quiet for love to stay
We let the silence grow too wide
Till there was nowhere to hide
Now your voice feels far away
Even when you try to stay
And I can feel it in my chest
We both already left
Love slipped outward
Right through our hands
No storm, no warning
No final stand
Just a quiet drifting apart
Like the tide pulled from our hearts
We didn't shout, we didn't fall
Love just slipped beyond it all
Love slipped outward
Through it all
Love slipped outward
