You try to change the way you're feeling But you lost it all gone And all the challenges you're given Have proved to be too strong You're the only one to blame You keep running but you can't escape Your perfect life's fading away You gotta slow down love Before it takes you out and you let it slip away Don't slip away You gotta slow down love Before your lights go out and the devil's made his way Only the brave Will make it out before it gets too late You're trying hard to find forgiveness In a sea that's full of lies And even though you're feeling helpless You still put up a good fight You truly thought that you would learn after watching all your treasures burn But you're inching closer to the flame You gotta slow down love Before it takes you down and you let it slip away Don't slip away You gotta slow down love Before the lights go out and the devil's made his way Only the brave Will make it out before it gets too late All the warning signs are gone Oh you're barely hanging on No one's left to hear you scream The silence is deafening But there's something still inside And it's keeping you alive It's hidden in the dark Baby you're stronger than you thought Slow down love Before it takes you out And you let it slip away Don't slip away You gotta slow down love Before your lights go out And the devil's made his way Only the brave will make it out before it gets too late
