One day you have it all
The next you've thrown it all away
And you cry all night
Wondering how you let it go
And it's so like sand through your fingertips
Ain't it funny how it slips away

You and your lonely life
Believing it'll all work out
And you know you're right, still the memory lingers on
Don't you know that I would go to pieces, yeah
Ain't it funny how it slips away
Ain't it funny how it slips, funny how it slips away

I've heard that nothing lasts forever now
I know, I know
When you love someone you could never let it slip
Never let it slip away

And it's so like sand through your fingertips.
Ain't it funny how it slips away, ain't it funny how it slips away
Oh, yeah, funny how it slips away
Oh, yeah, funny how it slips away
