'Cause it only breaks my heart, to see you goin through this to see you goin through this and there's nothing that I can do and it only breaks my heart, you don't have to 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 I think we almost made it, girl we almost made it you know as well as I and I take you in my arms, pull you close to me but every time I try you keep slipping away a little bit more every day 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 every day now feels like I'm running in place you keep slipping away away cause you keep slipping away (oooh you you)
'Cause you keep slipping away, a little bit more every day now feels like I'm running in place you keep slipping away away just when I get you alone, feels like I'm on my own like the tears running down on your face you keep slipping away away you keep slipping away (you keep slipping away)
