Before It Slips Away Lyrics

You just wandered off the road

And the scars won't forget it

When you take what you can't hold

You'll find yourself regretting

Was the struggle hard enough?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) One morning you'll wake up

And then you'll murmur

I want to be your everything

Not just a fleeting thought

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me now)

I-I want to be your everything

I'll hold my breath and wait

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me)

Now love oh oh now

Now love oh oh oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh your voice is stuck in my mind

Ooh-ooh-ooh I left the pieces behind

Lost between confusion and loss

Running from my own heart

Somewhere between hope and the pain I can't shake

Saying I want to be your everything

Not just a fleeting thought

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me now)

I-I want to be your everything

You're slipping through as the minutes pass

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me)

Now love oh oh now

Now love oh oh oh

When everything is still

And the world feels far away

I still search for your smile

Hoping you might stay

But I'm stuck in this feeling

Fighting with the ache

Waiting for a second

To feel you close again

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me now)

I-I want to be your everything

You're slipping through as the minutes pass

You won't see what you had until it slips away my dear

So tell me that you need me now (Tell me that you need me)

Now love oh oh now

Now love oh oh oh

You won't know what you lost 'til it leaves your hands

So tell me that you need me

Before this silence stands

Hold on to what we had

Before it turns to dust

Tell me that you love me

It's all that I trust
