'Cause it only breaks my heart
To see you going to this
To see you going to this
When there's nothing that I can do
And it only breaks my heart
You don't have do this
I've got nothing to hold on to

'Cause you keep slipping away
A little bit more everyday
Now feels like I'm running in place
You keep slipping away away
Just when I get you alone
It feels like I'm on my own
Like the tears running down on your face
You keep slipping away, away
You keep slipping away

And it only makes me sad
To think we almost made it
Well, girl, we almost made it
You know as well as I
And I take you in my arms
And pull you close to me
But every time I try

'Cause you keep slipping away
A little bit more everyday
Now feels like I'm running in place
You keep slipping away away
Just when I get you alone
It feels like I'm on my own
Like the tears running down on your face
You keep slipping away, away
You keep slipping away

Should I give up?
Should I let go?
My mind says "Yes!"
But my heart says "No!"
My heart says "No!"
My heart says "No!"

'Cause you keep slipping away
A little bit more everyday
Now feels like I'm running in place
You keep slipping away, away
'Cause you keep slipping away
Oh, you, you

'Cause you keep slipping away
A little bit more everyday
Now feels like I'm running in place
You keep slipping away away
Just when I get you alone
It feels like I'm on my own
Like the tears running down on your face
You keep slipping away, away
You keep slipping away
