Niya - "Slipping Away"

Slipping Away

There's a candle in the window and a light outside the hall
Of the place that I've been in since I was three feet tall
And everything I've ever known is slowly slipping away

They try to hold me back, I tried to memorize on skin
All the pages I have read, all the people that I've been
And everything I've ever known is slowly slipping away

Now I know that I can't go home
There's no way for me to be who you want me to be
I know that I can't go home
There's no way for me to be who you
Want me to be…
To be…

You finally wanna hear all I have to say
There is no way to stop it, welcome to the wake
Yeah, everything you've ever known
Is slowly slipping away

I tried and I tried to hold it all in
To say it doesn't bother me, while I'm wearing thin
And everything I've ever known is slowly slipping away

Now I know that I can't go home
There's no way for me to be who you want me to be
I know that I can't go home
There's no way for me to be who you
Want me to be…
To be…

There's no way to say the way I feel
You say, I need to be away from here
You say, there's no way for me to leave
I need to be away from here

There's no way to say, the way I feel
You ѕay, I need to be awаy from here
