..................

my face becomes blank as my mind i hold on,

but i'm falling my fingers twitch,

you're slipping i feel you start to drift

you're getting away, and i'm only askin you to stay.

give up a life you may not love

for one you will not like

my fist clenches around your slender hand

your splinter eyes meet mine

you're getting away, and i'm only askin you to stay.

It isn't a big deal, but somehow all

the world hangs on us tonight

my fist clenches - the walls come down

splinters enter sinner's eyes.

you're getting away, and i'm only askin you to stay.
