Slow
Liam Payne's 'Slow': Navigating Heartbreak in the Shadows
Lyrics
Though this is done, I will turn a blind eye
Despite the situation being resolved, I will intentionally ignore certain facts.
Don't tell me goodnight, 'cause it means goodbye
Don't bid farewell to me with "goodnight" because it implies a final farewell.
Know that we've broken
Acknowledgment that the relationship is shattered.
Know this was over months ago, months ago
Recognition that the relationship ended several months ago.
Got me pretending you ain't done with us
Feigning that you are not finished with our relationship.
It got me runnin' 'round the obvious
Engaging in activities that avoid the obvious truth.
Yeah, baby, why you gotta rush?
Questioning why there is a rush to conclude things.
If you gonna let me down, let me down slow
Requesting a gradual and gentle letting down if it's inevitable.
Tell me what I already, already know
Asking for honesty about what is already known.
I know that your mind's already made up
Acknowledging that the partner has already made up their mind.
But give me one more night now before we give up
Pleading for one more night before accepting the end.
If you gonna let me down, let me down slow
Reiterating the desire for a slow and gradual letting go.
Just another minute, I ain't ready to go
Expressing unpreparedness to end things in just another minute.
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
Before fully accepting reality, requesting to be held as if everything is fine.
That you're gonna let me down, let me down slow
Anticipating the eventual disappointment but asking for a slow revelation.
Let's leave it unsaid, just one more second
Suggesting to leave certain things unspoken for a little longer.
If you don't say it, then it ain't true yet
Delaying the acknowledgment of truth by not verbalizing it.
Know that we're broken
Reiteration of the broken state of the relationship.
Know this was over months ago, months ago
Confirming that the relationship ended several months ago.
Got me pretending you ain't done with us
Acting as if the partner is not ready to move on.
It got me runnin' 'round the obvious
Engaging in activities to avoid facing the truth.
Yeah, baby, why you gotta rush?
Questioning the need to hurry in the decision-making process.
If you gonna let me down, let me down slow
Repeating the plea for a gradual and gentle letting down.
Tell me what I already, already know
Asking for confirmation of what is already known.
I know that your mind's already made up
Acknowledging that the partner has already made a decision.
But give me one more night now before we give up
Pleading for one more night before accepting the inevitable.
If you gonna let me down, let me down slow
Reiterating the desire for a slow and gradual letting go.
Just another minute, I ain't ready to go
Expressing unpreparedness to end things in just another minute.
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
Before fully accepting reality, requesting to be held as if everything is fine.
That you're gonna let me down, let me down slow
Anticipating the eventual disappointment but asking for a slow revelation.
Let me down, let me down slow
Repeating the plea to be let down slowly.
So let me down, let me down slow
Repeating the plea to be let down slowly with a questioning tone about the rush.
Why you gotta rush when I already know
Questioning why there is a rush when the inevitable is already known.
That your mind's already made up
Acknowledging that the partner's mind is already made up.
And I know you wanna give up
Acknowledging the partner's desire to give up on the relationship.
So before you let me down, let me down slow
Pleading for a slow letting down before the final decision.
Give it one more minute, 'cause I don't wanna go
Asking for an additional minute because the thought of parting is unwelcome.
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
Before fully accepting reality, requesting to be held as if everything is fine.
That you're gonna let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down slow
Anticipating the eventual disappointment but asking for a slow revelation.
Let me down, let me down slow
Repeating the plea to be let down slowly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating the plea to be let down slowly with emphasis.
Let me down, let me down slow
