I thought that I would be able to breathe
And that I wouldn't grieve
Forever, slipping away
I thought that I would never cry
For you, who was gone like the clouds on a summer sky
And at the absence of you, I wouldn't be slipping away
I thought that if I didn't see you everyday
Trying to get in my way
I wouldn't be slipping away
I thought that if you were gone
I wouldn't long
For your face smiling
And I wouldn't be slipping away
I thought that I would be overjoyed
To know you won't be there, I am annoyed!
Why did these feelings grow?
And why were you able to sow
Them?
Now that you are so far away
I am slipping away...
