'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 do this
I'v got nothing to hold on to

Because 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 every day now feels like
I'm running in place you keep slipping away away
Cause you keep slipping away (oooh you you)

Because 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 (you keep slipping away)
