Meant to tell you

Tell you from the start

Meant to show you

What's inside this shallow heart

But I could not find the words

Worthy enough to say



I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way



Tried to be there

Be there if you fall

Tried to make you feel big

When life makes you feel small

But I could not find the steps

Quickly enough to take



I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way



I want to change things

Want to clear the air

Fix the things around us

So, badly in need of repair

I might not have the sense

Sense enough to change



I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way

I slipped along the way
