Oh it's been a while since I felt I could breathe
I'm not running my life
No it's running me
Mind's going a million miles an hour can't sleep
Be still and know yeah it's so hard to do
When the world's telling me I've got something to prove
All eyes are on me
Got everything to lose
More hustle go harder yeah get it done
Tired of trying to keep up
So I've gotta slow down
Cause I'm about to break down
Under all the pressure that's pulling me
Voices saying don't you stop keep moving around
I know I've got your love
So I'm already enough
There's nothing more gotta stay gotta do
Than let you pull me close and just be with you now
So I can finally slowed down
Sitting here with you is a beautiful thing
You have opened my eyes to see all that I need
Is right here in your arms so deep in your heart
More hustle go harder yeah get it done
I'm tired of trying to keep up
So I've got to slow down
Cause I'm about to break down
Under all the pressure that's pulling me
Voices saying don't you stop keep moving around
I know I've got your love
So I'm already enough
There's nothing more I gotta say gotta do
Than let you pull me close and just be with you now
So I can finally slow down
