Ken Hensley Slipping Away lyrics

This time it hurts a little bit more
This time it seems much more real
This time the pain's more intense than before
And I don't like how I feel

We had these bad days once in a while
(They) usually came with the rain
This time it's different, the emptiness here
Where only my dreams remain

(It's) slipping away… Further and further every day
(It's) slipping away but this heartache's not going away

(Now) I really miss you, that's certainly true
And I don't know what to do

If we live and we learn tell me which way to turn
‘Cause all of my future was you

When something so great starts to stumble and break
It kinda shifts to reverse
Something so good at first takes a turn for the worse
Welcome to the lover's curse

Don't point your pointless existence at me
I like it here, it's where I wanna be
You took my life and you threw it away
Let me be…
