If I had to say goodbye, There'd be no chance in getting by, I need you and me side by side, you don't know how hard I try, (do you try) do you hope our love, will never age? I'm hoping we'll never change 'cause I know you need me now, (right now) gotta make sure you always will, oh ho You're a one of a kind girl, you bring me up when I'm low, Going without you, I wouldn't know where to go, so girl hold on to me, and never let go, It's all real, and I think you should know That Letting you go, would be giving my heart away, so I'm letting you know, that I would wanna give it to you each day, Oh If I know my way, I'd never let this just fade away, and I need you to stay, keep on keeping me company, 'cause to me, Everything else is gone without you, God gave us something so real, and I know when I pray, (oo yeah) that can't get much better than this, but there's no oath it won't decay, I can't afford to let go, I'd be stuck if your love grew old, so here's all of my life, and I've given my hand to hold. You're a one of a kind girl, you bring me up when I'm low, Going without you, I wouldn't know where to go, so girl hold on to me, and never let go, It's all real, and I think you should know That Letting you go, would be giving my heart away, so I'm letting you know, that I would wanna give it to you each day, Oh If I know my way, I'd never let this just fade away, and I need you to stay, keep on keeping me company, 'cause to me, Everything else is gone without you

So many pretty faces, surround me every day, but I just keep my traces, around you anyway, so many try to fake it, with makeup on their face, I'll never break it girl it's not just 'bout having A pair of lips placed on mine, I don't just want a hand to hold, the only one I want is you, I just need your love, and I need you to trust me, every word is true I just want you, I just need your love, and I need you to trust me, every word is true I just want you, So many cruel faces, stare at me every day, with their facades expecting me trapped in their hands like clay, but I know they only fake it, they only want their way, I'll never break it girl it's not just 'bout having A pair of lips placed on mine, I don't just want a hand to hold, the only one I want is you, I just need your love, and I need you to trust me, every word is true I just want you, I just need your love, and I need you to trust me, every word is true I just want you

Your Heart 01:49
I gave everything I could to you to you to you to you, wanted to do it all for you for you for you oh, I knew that I shouldn't have pushed everything on you on you, So worried 'bout the pain that I got from you from you from you from you, But When we fell like that, all that I thought about was, how my heart broke in half, how could I be so selfish? What about yours, what about your heart? I always blamed myself for the way that it broke like I should have known, and I always blamed myself for my aching heart (whoo oo hoo), just came to realize that the pain and the guilt was on you too, I just thought about your heart and I'm sorry (yeah yeah) But When we fell like that, all that I thought about was, (all that I thought about was) how my heart broke in half (oo oo), how could I be so selfish? What about yours, what about your heart? (what about it, what about it) What about your heart (oo hoo), what about your heart? What about your heart?

Slowly 02:51
There is darkness all around us, uncertainty in all of our lives, and to control your feelings, and take a breath, will get you farther I know, (whoa oh), 'cause when bad came in my life, I rushed and I never thought 'bout what it could do to me, and I sunk to the bottom of my heart, I needed to take a break, and take it Slowly Slowly, God help me to believe believe, that you'll help me when I need I need, your help, for me to slow down When it all seems wrong, don't let your heart get the best of you, don't freak out don't panic, you'll only make it worse for yourself, it's like you're sinking in quicksand, struggling will only make it worse, just think deep, and take it Slowly Slowly, may God help you to believe believe, that he'll help you when you need your need, his help, for you to slow down He'll help us, to slow down

about

Slowly is James Drywood's first studio album, which he decided to release as an EP with six songs. While the first three songs on the release are more for entertainment for his audience, the last two contribute to the album's title, "Slowly." They are about his experience with ruining friendships, and needing to control his feelings to avoid breaking them. James tells this to his audience in the hopes that they will control their feelings, and not have to go through what he did.
