Slip Away

Why must I act like this?
I ruin everything
I hurt the ones I love

I try so hard 
But everthing slips from my grip
Stress overwhelms me
And that's how it all starts
 
Words slip from my lips
That I regret them that moment 
I try to make things better
And only make things worse 

If only I could be
What they want me to be
Or what they need
But I'm in their way
A waste of time

I'll try harder and pray
That they won't slip away
