Bleeding

[Verse 1] I run, I run Still late again Fix one thing Three more begin I hold the line It breaks in my hands Every good plan Turns into sand [Pre-Chorus] I say please You look right through I ask for trust You cut it loose I reach for help It slips away By the time I stand up It’s gone again [Chorus] It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away I try so hard But it still won’t stay It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away What’s mine gets taken Before I can say [Verse 2] Everything moves When I turn my back A door swings shut A friend goes black It’s hard to know When they switch sides One minute close Next minute hide What should be shared Gets locked away I learn too much By what they don’t say [Pre-Chorus] I say please You look right through I ask for trust You cut it loose I reach for help It slips away By the time I stand up It’s gone again [Chorus] It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away I try so hard But it still won’t stay It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away What’s mine gets taken Before I can say [Bridge] If I knew Who was still with me I’d stop bleeding What they can’t see But every hand Can turn to a knife And I’m left guarding My whole damn life [Final Chorus] It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away I try so hard But it still won’t stay It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away Don’t ask me easy I’m built this way It keeps slipping away Keeps slipping away What’s mine gets taken Before I can say
