Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I prefer to take it slow

My heart is a test

You want to skip steps

I prefer to take it slow

Because my heart is a wreck

That has already shipwrecked

I've been lying to myself all this time

I've known tragedy elsewhere

I won't make the same mistake with you

Because my pain is blood red

I prefer the fire that burns

Than a spark with you

I'm going to be honest with you

Don't promise me the stars

Or weekends in paradise

No, life isn't like that

If there's sunshine in your heart

Make me laugh until morning

Catch the tears of my nights

One day I'll say 'I love you'

But if you love me, you'll wait for it

I'll heal from my illness

There's a scent of mistrust

Like a taste of sentiment

I prefer to take it slow

My heart is a test

You want to skip steps

I prefer to take it slow

Because my heart is a wreck

That has already shipwrecked

I've been lying to myself all this time

I've known tragedy elsewhere

I won't make the same mistake with you

Because my pain is blood red

I prefer the fire that burns

Than a spark with you

Slow down, you're going too fast

My feelings are adrift

If my past paralyzes me, I know

That only you will make the difference

I've crossed names off my list

Others before you have hurt me

My heart under anesthesia

You'll have to give me time

No, I don't want to believe

In it again right now, I'm trying

But let me heal

I don't want you to be my bandage

I prefer to take it slow

My heart is a test

You want to skip steps

I prefer to take it slow

Because my heart is a wreck

That has already shipwrecked

I've been lying to myself all this time

I've known tragedy elsewhere

I won't make the same mistake with you

Because my pain is blood red

I prefer the fire that burns

Than a spark with you

I prefer to take it slow

I prefer to take it slow

Because my pain is blood red

I prefer to take it slow
