Slipping Through My Fingers (June 1997)

Just walk away don’t try to face the problem
Pretending to myself there’s nothing wrong
But when he smiles he’s faking
His eyes tell me he’s breaking
I guess I’ve known the truth for far too long

I’ve taken him for granted once too often
I didn’t think he’d ever say goodbye
When his love flowed like a river
I could not deliver
And now his rivers finally run dry

Chorus
As he slips through my fingers
I’m watching him go
The feelings still linger
But inside I know
I’m trying to hold on
The best that I can
I’m losing my soul
And I’m out of control
As he slips through my hands

There had to come a day when he’d stop trying
Because after all, he’s just a man
And men can’t love forever
They change just like the weather
But his leaving me was never in my plan

Chorus

I never gave him attention that he needed
Never took the time that I intend
It started with me sharing
And stopped when I stopped caring
It’s best to turn away and let it end

Chorus
