There you go again- Slippin'
Doin' that thing you said you'd never do again
You're hearing me call your name- you're hidin'
But I know just where you are
So close and yet so far
B section
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 bare to see you go out that way
Don't make the mistake in letting go
Don't be afraid I'm here
Hold on to me- you're slippin'
Chorus
Pretendin' everything is okay
In front of the crowd- your smilin'
But soon after everyone's gone, you're all alone
You're not fine- you're slippin'
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 slippin'
Can't make it on your own- stop tryin'
I've got the power to keep you from fallin'
If I could just have the chance- to show you
What real happiness is like
Together we'll win the fight
