Slip Away - Alive Like Me

I have a hold of everything I've ever wanted

Will somebody please tell me what to say

I'm lost for words and I can't seem to find a way

Around the awful truth

The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from

You are the only reason I would stay

And you are the only thing that's

Pushing me away

Will you please stop asking me to stay

When you know it has to

(you know its has to)

You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything

I've ever wanted

I won't let it slip away

I can't stand it when you're yelling over me

I try to speak calm you down but it's killing me

To dance around the truth

The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from

You are the only reason I would stay

And you are the only thing that's

Pushing me away

Will you please stop asking me to stay

When you know it has to

(you know it has to)

You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything

I've ever wanted

I won't let it slip away

I couldn't tell if you were glad that it was over

I should have stayed the night

Just one more night

To make sure that you knew that I'd come back

And I could see it in your eyes

If it was up to you you'd rather have me home

But it's not your choice

I wish I didn't have to do this on my own

I wish I didn't have to do this on my own

Will you please stop asking me to stay

When you know it has to

You know it has to be this way

(This way)

Will you please stop asking me to stay

When you know it has to

(you know it has to)

You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything

I've ever wanted

I won't let it slip away

Will you please stop asking me to stay

Will you please stop asking me to stay

Will you please stop asking me to stay

Will you please stop asking me to stay
