I don't know why
I don't know why I'm so afraid
I don't know how
I don't know how to fix the pain

We're living a lie
Living a lie
This needs to change
We're out of time
We're out of time
And it's still the same

We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world, if it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be alone

I'm hearing the noise
Hearing the noise from all around
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge of breaking down
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Let's find a ride and ditch this town
To keep it alive, keep it alive
Don't make a sound

We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world, if it'd finally let us be alone
Let us be

I never wanna take that final look
I'll turn another page
Won't close the book

We can't stop the world
But there's so much more that we could do
You can't stop this girl
From falling more in love with you
You said, "Nobody has to know
Give us time to grow and take it slow"
But I'd stop the world, if it'd finally let us be alone

Let us be alone
Let us be alone (let us be alone)
Let us be alone

    this is an awesome song. it sounds kind of like a miley cyrus song for some weird reason that i cant explain. but anyway, when i heard the preview i first thought it was about global warming or something. haha. until she said "we can't stop this girl." but it's another great song from demi. i love this new album!
