Slipping Away

I'm trying hard to understand

I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a man

Life'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 be

I'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

The fucking words you say

Life'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 be

(Away from me)

Somebody help me

I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away

Somebody help me

I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away

I'm trying hard to understand

But I don't know if I can

I'm trying hard to make the best

Out of this mess I'm in

Life'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 be

Life'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 be

Somebody help me

I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away

Somebody help me

I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away

I'm trying hard to understand
