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
