You always walked a little fast I was trying not to ask Held your hand, kept in line Learned to move before my time You were strong, you were sure I was young, wanting more Every smile felt enough Till it faded, then it's gone I never told you I was tired I just did what you admired Love was quiet, love was clean Never said what it could mean Slow down, just slow down I'm still trying to catch up now Slow down, don't walk away I was always half a step late Slow down, just slow down I don't need to run right now I loved you in every way I just needed you to stay I just needed you to stay We talked about the little things Days go by, the phone still rings I said I'm fine, you said: Okay Never went a deeper way You were proud, I felt it too Even when you never knew I stayed strong, stayed in place Kept my feelings tucked away I didn't want to let you down So I never made a sound I thought love was standing tall Not needing anything at all Slow down, just slow down I'm still trying to catch up now Slow down, don't walk away I was always half a step late Slow down, just slow down I don't need to run right now I loved you in every way I just needed you to stay I just needed you to stay You said, take care of your heart That line still tears me apart I wish I said it louder then But I know you felt it, in the end Slow down, just slow down I can't breathe without you now Slow down, I'll be okay I can walk at my own pace Slow down, just slow down I don't have to chase somehow I loved you in every way And that love still stay I'm walking slow I'm walking slow But I'm not alone
