Slipping Away

We look up to the sky, I swear it never ends Walk down the road on any path we choose But then something changed, now days just aren't the same I'm feeling so empty like part of me has been removed My youth is getting older It got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? Let me stop to ask the question Will I ever get the chance to repeat? I feel this more and more everyday Take me back to when I used to believe Nothing could prepare you, but we try our best Failure upon failure, what happens next? Nothing's ever easy and life still goes on Don't stop push on before you become withdrawn I've become withdrawn My youth is getting older. It got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? My innocence is gone Where did I go wrong? I feel it slipping away from me Do you remember when we were free? I've stood up on that ledge, and I know what you see You're looking over the edge and wanting to leap I've written every word and expressed all my concerns You're losing that part of yourself, but it wasn't meant to be My youth is getting older It got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? My innocence is gone --- Slipping Away - The Ghost Inside
