Lyrics

[Verse 1] You can't lie to yourself after lovin' somethin' true And I've never loved a soul quite the way that I loved you You told me you despise everything that I've become How we always turn into everything we're runnin' from [Verse 2] I miss the way you followed when you jaywalked in the street How you always talked more trash than any boy badmouthin' me And the way that the oak creaked when you snuck up from my bed The way that missin' someone will have you seein' steady red [Chorus] Take it slow as you leave me, don't you go home this evenin' with someone that you're actin' like is me And I will try my hardest, darlin', wait on a star that's fallin', and I will wait so patiently One thing I have quickly come to know Nothing kills you slower than lettin' someone go [Chorus] Take it slow as you leave me, don't you go home this evenin' with someone you're actin' like is me And I will try my hardest, darlin', wait on a star that's fallin', and I will wait so desperately One thing I have quickly come to know Nothing kills you slower than lettin' someone go [Verse 3] You can't lie to yourself after lovin' somethin' true And I've never loved a soul quite the way that I loved you And you told me you despise everything that I've become How we always turn into all the things we're runnin' from [Chorus] Take it slow as you leave me, don't you go home this evenin' with someone that you're actin' like is me And I will try my hardest, darlin', wait on a star that's fallin', and I will wait so desperately One thing I have quickly come to know Nothing kills you slower than lettin' someone go
