Slippin'

(album: Everlasting Love - 1998)

There you go again slipping
Doing the things you said you'd never do again
You hear me calling your name, you're hiding
But I know just where you are so close but yet so far

Turn around and see the miles you've come
Do you really wanna go back
Just to start again, oh, my friend

I can't bear to see you go out that way
Don't make the mistake of letting go
Don't be afraid, I'm here
Hold on to me, your slipping

Pretending everything is okay
In the front of the crowd, you're smiling
But after everyone's gone, you're all along
You're not fine, you're slipping

Take off the mask with me
I see your heart, it's hurting
If you wanna stay with me, I need honesty
Don't play with me, you're slipping

Can't make it on your own, stop trying
I've got the power to keep you from falling
If I could just have the chance to show you
What real happiness is like, together we'll win the fight
