Stop the World
Demi Lovato攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

I don't know why
I am unsure of the reason
I don't know why I'm so afraid
I do not understand why I feel scared
I don't know how
I do not know the method
I don't know how to fix the pain
I do not know how to alleviate the suffering
We're living a lie
We are pretending something that is not true
Living a lie
We are deceitful
This needs to change
There needs to be a transformation
We're out of time
There is no longer enough time
And it's still the same
The circumstances have not altered
We can't stop the world
We are unable to halt the earth
But there's so much more that we could do
We are capable of doing more
You can't stop this girl
You cannot prevent this girl from doing something
From falling more in love with you
From loving you even more
You said, "Nobody has to know
You expressed that nobody needs to be aware
Give us time to grow and take it slow"
Allow us to mature and proceed gradually
But I'd stop the world, if it'd finally let us be alone
I would pause time to find solitude with you
I'm hearing the noise
I am perceiving the commotion
Hearing the noise from all around
Hearing the uproar from every direction
I'm on the edge
I am on the verge
I'm on the edge of breaking down
I am about to collapse emotionally
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Like the infamous criminal duo
Let's find a ride and ditch this town
Let us acquire transportation and leave this place
To keep it alive, keep it alive
To keep our relationship thriving
Don't make a sound
Do not emit any noise
I never wanna take that final look
I never want to take a last glance
I'll turn another page
I will continue on to the next chapter
Won't close the book
I will not conclude the tale
Let us be alone
Let us be together in seclusion
Let us be alone (let us be alone)
Let us be alone (let us be alone)
Let us be alone
Let us be alone

This was recorded during a live performance of a charity show. I was in the fifth row aisle seat and didn't want to stand up in case I blocked the view of others! So I apologise for the view of photographers/tv cameras etc! I did think the stage (set up with balloons for the finale) looked really stunning though!
