Slowly Slipping Away

I lay in my bed all alone in the world
As I stare up at the ceiling
A silent tear falls down my cheek
I thought I'd gotten away from all my sorrows
And then just when I was beginning to look forward to tomorrow
All of my sorrows seem to flood back into my life
Making me feel as if I've been caught in a wave
And I am very slowly slipping away

I feel as if I'm forever trapped
Trapped in a sea of sorrows
I can only dream of being happy
Because deep in my heart I know that is something I will never be
No matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to escape my sorrows
That have become like a sea drowning me
And I am very slowly slipping away
