I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away, Like a feather in the wind. I didn't hold on tight enough, And now it's gone again. I loved him with a passion, That burned deep within my soul. But I couldn't make him stay, And now I'm all alone. I thought that love would conquer all, And we'd be together forevermore. But he had other plans in mind, And I was left to pick up the pieces on the floor. I cried myself to sleep each night, Wishing he would come back to me. But it was just a hopeless dream, And now I know it was never meant to be. I let it slip away, And now I can't go back. The memories haunt me every day, And my heart is under attack. I tried to move on with my life, And find someone new to love. But nobody can compare to him, And he's the only one I'm thinking of. I let it slip away, And now I'm paying the price. My heart is shattered into pieces, And I'm left with this endless strife. I wish I could turn back time, And hold onto him so tight. But now all I have is regret, And a heart that's lost its light. So here I am, alone and broken, With nothing left to do. I let it slip away from me, And now I'm feeling so blue.
