Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Even on a day like this
When you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring
Anyone who knows you anymore
[Verse 2]
It's alright to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
[Verse 3]
Staring at the same four walls
Have you tried to help yourself?
The rings around your eyes, they don't hide
That you need to get some rest
[Verse 4]
It's alright to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
[Verse 5]
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide
[Verse 6]
Even at a time like this
When the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you
But it's happened to us all
[Verse 7]
It's alright to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
[Verse 8]
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide
[Verse 9]
You brought this on yourself
And it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
And dream of something else instead
[Verse 10]
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide
