Lyrics...

I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping away

I gave it all and no one cared

I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping away

I caught it slipping away

I gave it all, but no one cared

I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping away


I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping away

No more pain, No more fear

I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping away


I just can't learn to forget

Now i'm choking on the memories

Choking on regret

I tried, but I just can't find a way

To untangle all the pieces

After they've been thrown away

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping away


I will not suffer this loss

Of you again and again and again

I refuse to continue to live

In this perpetual nightmare

I decide it ends right here

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping

I feel it slipping away


I feel it slipping

Its slipping

Everything is slipping away
