Slipping Away

I'm trying hard to understand
 I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a man
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 I'm trying hard to understand
 And to know just who I am
 I'm trying hard to get a break
 Or just to give a damn
 I'm trying hard to get away
 But I always seem to stay
 I'm trying hard to understand
 A fucking word you say
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 (The way I thought it'd be)
 Somebody help me
 I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
 Somebody help me
 I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
 I'm trying hard to understand
 But I don't know if I can
 I'm trying hard to make the best
 Out of this mess I'm in
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 Life's slipping away from me
 I can't hold on
 I can't believe it
 Life's slipping away from me
 It's not the way I thought it'd be
 Somebody help me
 I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
 Somebody help me
 I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away
 I'm trying hard to understand
