  • I want to sit you down for a talk
    To see if you remember the scars
    When you were hurt and falling apart
    The hand that feeds you, bites you

    I say this honestly, beloved
    I miss the old you

    Is this the end? Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands?
    Will we pretend we know what follows
    Slipping through our hands?
    I said it before, I'll say it again
    If we don't change something then we wind up dead
    Is this the end? Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands?

    Light is the only cure for the dark
    This time we can't get back to the start
    I won't let you forget who you are
    The hand that feeds you bites you

    I say this honestly, beloved
    I miss the old you

    Is this the end? Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands?
    Will we pretend we know what follows
    Slipping through our hands?
    I said it before, I'll say it again
    If we don't change something then we wind up dead
    Is this the end? Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands?

    Slipping through our hands
    Slipping through our hands
    It's all slipping through our hand
    Will we pretend we know what follows (slipping through our hands)
    (Hey) slipping through our hands

    Is this the end?
    Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands? (Slipping through our hands)
    Will we pretend we know what follows
    Slipping through our hands? (Slipping through our hands)
    I said it before, I'll say it again
    If we don't change something then we wind up dead
    Is this the end? Or is tomorrow slipping through our hands? Writer/s: Matt Squire, Ronnie Winter
