[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

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

[Verse 2:]
Staring at the same four walls
Have you tried to help yourself?
Rings around your eyes, they don't hide
That you need to get some rest

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
It's all right 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

[Chorus:]
Don't slide, don't slide
Don't slide, slide, slide

[Verse 3:]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You bought this on yourself
And it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
Dream of something else instead

[Chorus] (2x)
