We can
try, we can really try
But until you can look me
straight in the eye
There's gonna be secrets,
a cause for alarm
Nobody wants to hurt you,
and no one will
But you hide, you try to hide
And somehow I find your hiding place
I see your face, a raging storm
You've done a little harm
now at the end of the day
All those things we intended to say
But never found the time or the way
It seems a shame,
but it's slippin' away,
slippin' away,
our love is slippin' away
I saw you cry,
I saw you break down and cry
You'll never admit why you
just tried to conceal
All the little secrets
that won't go away
You could have broken your arm
tryin' to hold me that way
All those things we intended to say
I never found the time or the way
Oh, it seems a shame,
but it's slipping away
Slipping away
Our love is slipping away
Do you remember when
I forgot to call?
Well, met your new friend out in the hall
Now I know the secret,
it's so very clear
If you're gonna take a lover,
just don't bring him here
All those things we intended to say
But never found the time or the way
It seems a shame, but it's slipping away
Slipping away, our love
Slippin' away, slippin' away
Our love
Oh, it's slippin' away
Slippin' away
Our sweet love
Oh, it's slippin' away
Slippin' away
Don't let it go, oh, she's been away
