‘Cause it only breaks my heart
To see you going through this
To see you going 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 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 (oooh-you-you)

'Cause you keep slipping away
A little bit more everyday now
Feels like I'm running in place
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)
