Slowly

Simple as a song, chosen for the words alone

Easy as a rhyme, it doesn't even fit but it flows

And I care you're leaving, I'm barely breathing

At all, you back down oh you back down

Slowly, but surely and you're leaving me cold

Now you want to hold me, closely and

Don't you know it hurts me more

When you go slowly

Innocent and pure that is what we were

That is what I wanted

Us to always be, but stay away from me

These memories are haunted

And I care you're leaving, I'm barely breathing

At all, you back down oh you back down

Slowly, but surely and you're leaving

But now you want to hold me, closely and

Don't you know it hurts me more

When you go slowly

Just go, don't look back

Cause I could get over that

Be cruel, don't be kind

Cause it kills me every time

When you go slowly, but surely and you're leaving

But now you want to hold me, closely

And don't you know it hurts me more

When you go slowly

So don't go slowly
