Darling, I can smell the whiskey on your breath
You swore it up and down but darling now you’re just a mess
There’s no safety in your lies
We’ve been down this road one too many times

Darling, I can hear the heartbreak in your chest
If I could be a shield for you girl, some kind of living proof vest
Can’t you see the world is here to stay
It’s you and I who go away
Yeah, we go away

If I slowed down,
Would you come right back down?
And love me like you did in the beginning babe

Darling we can’t take the worst back what said is said
But at least we got the best of both worlds
That part of us is dead
We can connect the dots and walk the line
People do it all the time

If I slowed down,
Would you come right back down?
I love me like you did in the beginning babe.
