I never thought It would end this way I always prayed It would end up another way End up another way But I, Was fooling myself She was too good For me I'm never gonna know Never gonna know What we could have been And we Talked on the phone Every night But that Didn't mean a thing in the end But I, Treated her right Was a nice boy To her But that is all about to end Because she's slipping away slowly but surely. (Chorus) I hope that she knows What she is missing I would have given her everything But now she is slipping I know there's still time And I shouldn't give up yet But I'm lonely and tired I just wanna go to bed And I hope She will remember The things that I said To her I waited for her all this time And now she's slipping away slowly but surely But she Don't get me wrong Is a nice girl That's why The problem isn't her its me That's why she's slipping away slowly but surely Five years from now She comes up to me We go to the same University She says How have you been? What classes you in This term? I guess some boys just never learn Here we go again… I'm tired of waiting Night after night I'm tired of believing Everything will be alright You're slipping away and I can't catch you now My heart is in pieces Lying on the ground She's Slipping Away
