Slow Down
Slow down
The days are moving too fast
And the memories don’t seem to last
Long enough for me
To take them in
Slow down
I need you right now,
Your presence slowly fading away,
I want you to stay
I need you to slow down
I know you have to leave
But
Can’t you come back for a little longer?
Let’s have one more conversation,
Then maybe...
Maybe I’ll let you go
Hesitation...
Slow down
Your voice echoes in my heart
In the background of my soul
I try not to make a sound
So for a moment i feel whole
I need to hear your voice
One last time
After that
I’ll try to be fine
But there’s never really a
“One last time”
I swear i tried
To be as strong as you
Wanted me to be
Even when it becomes hard to breathe
I breathe
Slow down
Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Stay strong, hold on, and just breathe
Please slow down
Don’t walk away from me
You’re the father i need
And besides
You promised you’d never leave
That’s what you made me believe
Slow down;
Daddy just slow down
