[Verse 1]
Don't know if I should write it in a leter or just walk away
Or should I wait and talk to you on a chance that you'd stop me
But I just can't sit here and keep on living this way
I'm sorry to say this but I need to
I want you to know that I still love you with all my heart and soul
But now...
[Chorus]
It's slipping away
And I can't watch everything fall apart
It's slipping away
Every moment we had is coming to a stop
And I don't know if you saw it in my eyes
But somehow we both knew this was...
Slipping away
Slipping away
[Verse 2]
Those late nights we have had suddenly come to an utter end
And I feel something in the air telling me to just leave
But I can't go because I'm still terribly in love with you
And I know that this isn't at all what it used to be
Because now...
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And now I sit out in the pouring rain, looking at you
I see how much it hurts but it was the right thing to do
Our lives were going in two different directions and we couldn't keep up
So this is what happened to us
This is what happened...
It slipped away
And I could not watch everything fall apart
It slipped away
Every moment we had suddenly faded to grey
And I know that's when you saw it in my eyes that this day would come
Our lives just got so tangled up that it slipped away
It slipped away
It slipped away
