The Epitome of Everything

They say love is patient
They say love is kind
But love is really torture
And love is blind
They say love is beautiful
The prettiest sight on Earth
They say it's the greatest feeling
Except for when it hurts
You got your hands on your hips
And your kiss on my lips
No, I don't wanna slow down

Take me back to when we were young
When we were touch and go
My answer shoulda been no
But I can't take it, I can't leave you alone

They say love is beautiful
It can make you feel free
But you'll wind up feeling trapped
Inside the chains of misery
Love can make everything better
It can also make everything worse
Love can be a blessing in disguise
But it'll still look like a curse
Oh, it's the epitome of everything
The reason why I'm alone in my bed
Now it is the reason
I can't get you out of my head

Take me back to when we were young
When we were touch and go
My answer shoulda been no
But I can't take it, I can't leave you alone

Elaborate lies I told myself are now all comin' back
I thought that me loving you would sew up all the cracks
In my broken heart, now I know to be further
From the truth so hard
I need to have the ability to feel the walls falling apart

Oh, watch 'em come tumblin' down

Oh, these walls were built when we were young
When we were touch and go
My answer shoulda been no
But I can't take it anymore

Oh, they'll still be there when we grow old
And find there's nowhere left to go
With nothing left to learn
This is nothing left to know
I can't take it
I don't wanna hear it
But I said it
I don't wanna
Slow down
