Vanishing

I chase you like a shadow
Dancing in the light
But every time I reach you
You slip into the night
A flicker in the skyline
Fading in the calm
Left out in the dark
Like I can't get you at all
​Falling fleeting phantom hollow
​Slowly slipping empty going numb
​What can I lose to lose it all
​It's like water through my hands
​You're always slipping
​Wanna hold you but I can't
​Can't hold what's vanishing
​So if you were my ex
​Then nothing would make sense
​But I still feel the end
​Can't hold what's vanishing
So if you were my ex
​Then nothing would make sense
But I still feel the end
​Can't hold what's vanishing
​​It's like water through my hands
​You're always slipping
​​Wanna hold you but I can't
​Can't hold what's vanishing
​So if you were my ex
​Then nothing would make sense
​But I still feel the end
​Can't hold what's vanishing
