'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 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.

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.
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).
