Slowing Down

[Verse 1]
Here come your tattoos slowly fading
The breaks upon your heart are leaving scars
The battles for your freedom you've been winning
They bought you time but they're costing you the war

[Chorus]
Slowing down don't come easy
When running hard's been flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times it's lost its meaning
And memories are all that's left to love
Oh, believe me, slowing down
It don't come easy

[Verse 2]
The wasted years of love in motel rooms
Your boots under another stranger's bed
Waking in the morning way too soon
Yeah, leaving you's as lonely as it gets

[Chorus]
Slowing down don't come easy
When running hard's been flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times it's lost its meaning
And memories are all that's left to love
Oh, believe me, slowing down
It don't come easy

[Bridge]
You just can't stop the clock from turning back the time
But for her heart and soul, it's worth trying

[Chorus]
Slowing down don't come easy
When running hard's been flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times it's lost its meaning
And memories are all that's left to love
Oh, believe me, slowing down
Oh, believe me, slowing down
It don't come easy
