Lyrics

Tom

There's nothing between us

Except the feeling of nothing

The nothing of so close

The nothing of being too close

How it slips away love

How it slips away love

The force that passes through our hearts

And the truth of knowing something's wrong

Nothing divides one more than us

The child's welfare

The loss of trust

How it slips away love

How you slipped away love

The force that passes through our hearts

And the truth of knowing something's wrong

How it slips away love

How it slips away

How it slips away

Don't let me slip away
