I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy and talking straight

The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
Before we knew it was too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Baby, if you slow down for me

I could see you're only telling lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies
When will you learn?

The little cracks they escalated
And before we knew it was too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slow down for me

I could see you're only telling lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies
When will you learn?

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go
