I'm trying hard to understand.. I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a man. Life's slipping away from me, It's not the way I thought it be. Life's slipping away from me, It's not the way I thought it be. I'm trying hard to understand, and to know just who I am. I'm trying hard to get a break or just to give a damn. I'm tying hard to get away, But I always seem to stay. I'm trying hard to understand a fucking word you say. Life's slipping away from me. It's not the way I thought it'd be. Life's slipping away from me. It's not the way I thought it'd be. The way I thought it'd be Somebody help me, I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away Somebody help me, I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away I'm trying hard to understand, But I dont know if I can. I'm trying hard to make the best out of this mess I'm in. Life's slipping away from me. It's not the way I thought it'd be. Life's slipping away from me. It's not the way I thought it'd be. Life's slipping away from me I cant hold on I cant believe it Life's slipping away from me It's not the way i thought it'd be The way I thought it'd be, Somebody help me, I'm in this mess and im slipping away Somebody help me, I'm in this mess and im slipping away I'm trying hard to understand... ~~For Cody~~ ~~~~~April 6th, 2002~~~~~ ~~Song is "Slipping Away"by Dope~~
