Slip Away

[Verse 1] Locked inside my mind, passing time With nothing to lose Trying to find a reason to fight With nothing to prove I've been waiting for the light to glow Waiting for the love to show Waiting for you I'm just laying in the fading light Waiting for the chance to strike Waiting for you [Pre-Chorus] But it's never right It's never good enough for you Can't speak my mind 'Cause you don't wanna hear the truth You only tell me what you want me to say You've made your point But I can do this myself [Chorus] How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me down, can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me [Verse 2] Temporary moments of flight Distorting the view Visionaries chasing new highs For something to do (Do) When everything's been done before You're still knocking at my door Begging for more When you're spinning me another line Thinking I'll just take them blind Is that all I'm for? [Pre-Chorus] But it's never right It's never good enough for you Can't speak my mind 'Cause you don't wanna hear the truth You only tell me what you want me to say You've made your point But I can do this myself [Chorus] How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me down, can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me [Outro] How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me down, can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me
