Slip Away Lyrics - Alive Like Me

I have a hold of everything I've ever wanted 

Will somebody please tell me what to say? 

I'm lost for words and I can't seem to find a way 

Around the awful truth 

The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from 

You are, the only reason I would stay 

And you are the only thing that's 

Pushing me away 

Will you please stop asking me to stay 

When you know it has to 

(you know its has to) 

You know it has to be this way 

I have a hold of everything 

I've ever wanted 

I won't let it slip away 

I can't stand it when you're yelling over me 

I try to speak, calm you down but it's killing me 

To dance around the truth 

The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from 

You are, the only reason I would stay 

And you are the only thing that's 

Pushing me away 

Will you please stop asking me to stay 

When you know it has to 

(you know it has to) 

You know it has to be this way 

I have a hold of everything 

I've ever wanted 

I won't let it slip away 

I couldn't tell if you were glad that it was over 

I should have stayed the night 

Just one more night 

To make sure that you knew that I'd come back 

And I could see it in your eyes 

If it was up to you you'd rather have me home 

But it's not your choice 

I wish I didn't have to do this on my own 

I wish I didn't have to do this on my own 

I can't do this on my own 

I can't do this on my own 

Will you please stop asking me to stay 

When you know it has to 

You know it has to be this way 

(This way) 

Will you please stop asking me to stay 

When you know it has to 

(you know it has to) 

You know it has to be this way 

I have a hold of everything 

I've ever wanted 

I won't let it slip away
