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 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.
