Pretty Slowly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I remember how you were
You were every shade of perfect
And then the colors blurred
And you'll never love me like you did
You'll never love, you'll never love me like you did
And I see your ghost from time to time
When I'm driving through the Rockies
And I feel this little knife in my heart
And it bleeds me out
Don't wanna love, I don't wanna love you now
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how come all the best things fall apart?
[Chorus]
And it started pretty slowly
Oh, when you asked about the old me
"Oh, is he gone? Oh, is he gone?" Oh, I don't know
I think I left him somewhere I no longer go
And I watch you run away now
From all the lovely things we hate now
Where did we go? Where did we go? Oh, I don't know
But I know it feels like somewhere far away from home
And it's falling into pieces
No, there's not a way that we can stop this now
One thousand miles an hour, we're driving off the edge
And, darling, now there's nothing left
And it started out so slowly
[Verse 2]
Oh, as I lay here by myself
And it's 4 a.m., I wonder
Did I put you through hell? Oh no
I need to know if you're okay
I wanna know, I need to know if you're okay, mm
And I hope that you're so damn sure that leaving me was right
Best thing you ever did, it was leaving me behind
Oh, woo-ooh-ooh, I couldn't blame you if I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess even the best things fall apart
[Chorus]
And it started pretty slowly
Oh, when you asked about the old me
"Oh, is he gone? Oh, is he gone?" Oh, I don't know
I think I left him somewhere I no longer go
And I watch you run away now
From all the lovely things we hate now
Where did we go? Where did we go? Oh, I don't know
But I know it feels like somewhere far away from home
And it's falling into pieces
No, there's not a way that we can stop this now
One thousand miles an hour, we're driving off the edge
And, darling, now there's nothing left
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Somewhere deep in you
Somewhere deep in me
Oh, there's still two lovers
So who the hell are we?
When I look at you
And when you look at me
Oh, there's still two lovers
So who the hell are we?
When I look at you
And when you look at me
Oh, there's still two lovers
So who the hell are we?
When I look at you
And when you look at me
Oh, there's still two lovers
So who the hell are we?
[Outro]
Who the hell are we?
(Oh, who the hell are we?)
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Benson Boone reflects on the disintegration of a once-perfect relationship. He describes the transformation from a state of ideal love to a painful realization of its absence. The mention of seeing the "ghost" of a past lover while driving suggests ongoing emotional hauntings and unresolved feelings.
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Boone questions why even the most cherished things eventually fall apart. This reflects a broader sense of inevitability and frustration with the fleeting nature of happiness.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the gradual decline of the relationship, using the metaphor of things "starting pretty slowly" to illustrate how the end came about in a subtle, almost imperceptible manner. Boone expresses a sense of detachment from his former self and acknowledges the irreparable damage that has occurred.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Boone contemplates his actions and their impact on his former partner. He expresses a lingering concern for her well-being and questions whether leaving him was indeed the right choice. This section reveals his internal struggle with guilt and his attempts to understand her perspective.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a moment of introspection and existential questioning. Boone explores the idea that despite their separation, a part of them remains connected, raising questions about identity and the nature of their past relationship.
[Outro]
In the outro, Boone reiterates the existential questions posed in the bridge, emphasizing the unresolved nature of their connection and the uncertainty about their identities in the aftermath of their split.
