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 when 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

want to change things
Want to clear the air
Fix the things around us
So badly in need of repair
But I might not have the sense
Sense enough to change

I slipped along the way
