[Verse 1]
'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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
You keep slipping away

[Chorus]
'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
You keep slipping away
