[Verse 1]
I cross my heart and I wish that I would've never met you
You showed me how to love and how to tear myself in two
When I lay my head down all my secrets pour out
All the things you've done I won't speak of again
Most days I walk around not making a sound
With all the pieces of my heart in my hands while singing

[Verse 2]
I've fallen in love more than twice
Kissed a pretty girl and I thought she was mine
Yeah I've had sex, I've made love
The only difference to me is the trust
But even trust can hurt you sometimes
Remember nothing lasts forever, you lose
I've watched my mother cry, watched my father slowly die
God if you're looking for something to do I'm praying

[Chorus]
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now

[Bridge]
This is who I am doing the best that I can
Always running in the dark trying to catch my falling stars, singing
This is who I am doing the best that I can
Always running in the dark trying to catch my falling stars, singing

[Chorus]
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now
Dear world, slow down, you're killing me now
