Slow and Steady Wins the Race

I can't stand when you walk away  
in the middle of a fight.  
And I'm left in your bed  
unsure of how to make things right.  

it's wrong, all fucking wrong.  
Everything I try.  
How do I stand up for myself  
and still be polite?  
 
Sometimes the way you read me  
is just the beginning and the end.  
Like you're back in school,  
preparing for the test.  
 
Listen to my words,  
you may not agree  
But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.  
That is you and this is me.  
 
Every time we fall  
I think 'we had a good run'.  
But the finish line is still so far  
and I know we aren't done.  
 
Please don't try to race me  
we help eachother side to side.  
matching in stride  
patience no pride  
Love is a choice  
Let's take our time.
