I’m watching you slip through my fingers, and it feels like all I can do is watch you run away.
My hands are tied and it seems like everything I say or do causes more damage, I have no clue what I’m supposed to do when you say you’re trying to figure things out. I swear I’m trying to understand what you’re going through, but it’s hard when it feels like you’re just erasing us because it’s easier than working through this together.
Watching and waiting while you try to find yourself is worse than any pain I woulda imagined knowing it’s something you gotta do and I’m not trying to tell you that you’re wrong, I’m just trying to let you know what it feels like from my point of view wondering if I’ll be a part of the future you
I don’t have any of the answers and I’m stuck here watching you slip away, slip away, watching you slip away
I’m fighting not to lose you, while the thought of losing you is eating my soul.
I’m not trying to make you choose me over anything else, I’m only trying to put us back together, and I know its gonna take both of us, and what I want doesn’t matter if it’s not what you want.
I don’t have any of the answers and I’m stuck here watching you slip away, slip away, watching you slip away
Maybe you can’t see it and maybe it doesn’t even matter, but it doesn’t change you being everything to me.
They might say I’m crazy, but it shouldn’t look this easy with everything we’ve been through, for you to just walk away when it was supposed to be you and me forever
I don’t have any of the answers and I’m stuck here watching you slip away, slip away, watching you slip away
I’m hanging on with all I’ve got. I know my words don’t mean anything anymore but here I am anyway, writing another song you’ll probably never listen to and wondering if maybe you just can’t hear me yelling out to you or maybe you only see me trying to put on a show for you when I’m only trying to show you that I’m not going anywhere and I’m here for you.
I know you don’t have the answer, I still feel like I have to ask you, if my actions don’t speak loud enough, what can I do to get you to turn around long enough to see me reaching out for you, I’m not just trying to hold you and I’m not trying to be your WHOLE WORLD, I’m only trying to be a part of the world you want to live in.
I don’t have any of the answers and I’m stuck here watching you slip away, slip away, watching you slip away
I don’t have any of the answers and I’m stuck here watching you slip away, slip away, watching you slip away
