slipping away

By Abbyernathie

My life is slipping away from me.
Gotta hold on tight…
Gotta pull it back.
Now it’s too late
There’s no turning back.

Slipping through my fingers
Gotta tighten my grip.
It’s too hard to hold on.
It continues to slip.

I can’t no I won’t get help.
You can’t help me.
No you don’t understand me.
You don’t know what it’s like
Trying to hold onto your life.

Slipping through my fingers
Gotta tighten my grip.
It’s too hard to hold on.
It continues to slip.

It’s too hard to hold on.
Now I gotta let go.
Gonna watch it fall down,
There’s no pulling it back.
My life has slipped away from me.
