I'm beginning to think that I understand
How this all works
And I'm beginning to think that I know I can
Find a way to bring you back
After I let you slip away...

It's hard to hear that little voice, they say
When it all goes wrong
It seems like it's all being thrown away
But I'll find a way to fix it
After I let you slip away...

But it's happening way too soon
The Earth has collided with the Moon
All the buildings crumble down
Waters flood the ****** ground
Watch it slip away
Fade away.


It's hard to deal with losing you
After all, it was in our grasp
Please tell me if there's anything I can do
To bring you back
After I let you slip away...

I see the tears running down your cheek
You brush them away with a shaky hand
Caught in the moment, I tried to speak
But no words came out
After I let you slip away...

I've fallen to the world of black
Once you're there, you can never go back
We continue to fight over ****** land
But until we're sure we understand
Watch it slip away
Fade away.


Now even though I told you no
You went and left me in the dark
I tried to tell you I need you so
But you just laughed
After I let you slip away...

I can feel my soul begin to crack
I don't think I can continue on
It's all a darker shade of black
I realize I need you now
After I let you slip away.

*Trying to cross the bloodied land
The shadows of you turned and ran
I tried to catch up, but they moved too fast
Should have known this could never last
But still, I long to hear from you
Until then, there's nothing I can do
But watch it all just slip away
Just fade away.
