You try to change the way you're feeling But you've lost it all 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 fadin' away 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 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 feelin' helpless You still put up a fight You truly thought that you had learned After watchin' all your treasures burn But you're inchin' 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 your 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 live It's hidden in the dark Maybe you're stronger than you thought
