Things start slowing down for you and I
It's been a long time a comin'
If you keep holding on to what we've lost
You're gonna drag down the road behind us

I never wanted it to feel like this
To be this way
I'm just afraid that if you stay
We'll never change
I never wanted it to be like this
To feel this way
I'm just afraid that if you stay, you'll hate me

Things start slowing down for you and I
It's been a long, long, long, long time
If you keep holding on to what we've lost
You're gonna drag down the road behind us

I never wanted it to feel like this
To be this way
I'm just afraid that if you stay
We'll never change
I never wanted it to be like this
To feel this way
I'm just afraid that if you stay
You'll hate me
