Slow Down Lyrics by Citycreed

My mama told me slow down, learn to take it slow
Cause acting like you’re fine will make the hurt a lot alone
Oh, I can hear the pain you’re hiding slurring through your words
If you’re drinking just to feel again, you’ll only make it worse

But mama, I’ve tried and nothing’s healing
I’m out here barely breathing
And I can’t take this feeling anymore
So give me just one good goddamn reason
Why I should stay when I feel like leaving
Cause I can’t stand this feeling anymore

My mama told me slow down, learn to take it slow
Cause acting like you’re fine will make the hurt a lot alone
Oh, I can hear the pain you’re hiding slurring through your words
If you’re drinking just to feel again, you’ll only make it worse

But mama, I’ve tried and nothing’s healing
I’m out here barely breathing
And I can’t take this feeling anymore
So give me just one good goddamn reason
Why I should stay when I feel like leaving
Cause I can’t stand this feeling anymore

Now I’ve been steady drinking, staying up at night
Cause all this overthinking’s messing with my mind
Said I wouldn’t do it again, but the bottle found my hand
Now I’m so far from sober I can hardly even stand

So give me just one good goddamn reason
Why I should stay when I feel like leaving
Cause I can’t stand this feeling anymore

My mama told me slow down, learn to take it slow
Cause acting like you’re fine will make the hurt a lot alone
Oh, I can hear the pain you’re hiding slurring through your words
If you’re drinking just to feel again, you’ll only make it worse

But mama, I’ve tried and nothing’s healing
I’m out here barely breathing
And I can’t take this feeling anymore
So give me just one good goddamn reason
Why I should stay when I feel like leaving
Cause I can’t stand this feeling anymore

So mama, if you’re out there somehow hearing me know that
I don’t wanna feel this goddamn lonely anymore
