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
