[Verse 1]
Well you wanted me to stay
But I'm losing faith each day

[Refrain]
And I'm leaving this behind right now
And I'm leaving this behind

[Pre Chorus]
Can you tell me something new
Can you tell me something true
I've been drowning in these whispers
I've been sinking in your words

[Chorus]
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh

[Verse 2]
There was so much we could be
But you numbed the spark in me

[Refrain]
And I'm leaving this behind right now
And I'm leaving this behind
[Pre Chorus]
Can you give me something real
Do you feel the things I feel
All your shadows' tongues have caged me
I've been withering away

[Chorus]
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh
I need to slow down, ooh

[Outro]
