Lyrics :
I see you from across the room, like always, I just stare
The words are stuck inside my chest, but I know they’re there
You laugh with friends, you’re miles away, though you’re right next to me
I’m trapped between what I should say and what could never be

I try to hold on, but it’s slipping like sand
The harder I reach, the less I understand

You’re slipping through my hands, oh, I can feel you go
The more I try to pull you close, the further you let go
I’m chasing every fleeting glance, but you don’t even see
You’re slipping through my hands, and now you’re out of reach

I tell myself “tomorrow,” but tomorrow never stays
The more I wait, the more I watch you slowly drift away
You’ve got your life, your dreams, your plans, I’m just a shadow now
I wish I had the strength to stand, but I’ve forgotten how

I try to hold on, but it’s slipping like sand
The harder I reach, the more I lose command

You’re slipping through my hands, oh, I can feel you go
The more I try to pull you close, the further you let go
I’m chasing every fleeting glance, but you don’t even see
You’re slipping through my hands, and now you’re out of reach

Maybe it’s too late, maybe it’s my fate
To keep these words I never said
I built a wall of fear, and now it’s all too clear
You’re gone, and I’m left here instead

You’re slipping through my hands, oh, I can feel you go
The more I try to pull you close, the further you let go
I’m chasing every fleeting glance, but you don’t even see
You’re slipping through my hands, and now you’re out of reach

Slipping through my hands...
You’re slipping through my hands...
Now you’re gone from me...
Just a memory...
