lyrics

I know that you've been trying hard to get back on your feet. Winter's lasting longer and the summer only brings the heat. But soon, I know that you will see, the pain is fading every day, and when the scars have finally healed, you'll find the words to say you are so much more than this…

These are the things that we hold in our hands, so how do we get to the end? Don't you let them inside to take all your air, 'cause I know you will breathe once again.

I know that you've been trying hard to fix the broken ones, can't stand to see the ones you love admit defeat and run. And so, you sacrifice so much to make sure they will never fall, and I don't understand how you stay willing, through it all…but you are so much more than this.

Slow down, you're just moving way too fast. Slow down, can't be weighed down by the past. Slow down, you are more than what they say. Slow down, you'll grow stronger every day.
