Slipping Away Lyrics

I'm trying hard to understand
I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a manLife's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd be
Life's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd beI'm trying hard to understand and to know just who I am
I'm trying hard to get a break or just to give a damn
I'm trying hard to get away but I always seem to stay
I'm trying hard to understand a fucking word you sayLife's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd be
Life's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd beSomebody help me
I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
Somebody help me
I'm in this mess and I'm slipping awayI'm trying hard to understand but I don't know if I can
I'm trying hard to make the best of this mess I'm inLife's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd be
Life's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd beLife's slipping away from me

I can't hold on, I can't believe it
Life's slipping away from me
It's not the way I thought it'd beSomebody help me
I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
Somebody help me
I'm in this mess and I'm slipping awayI'm trying hard to understand
