Pronounce It Slow and Steady
And as a million thoughts run through my head
I can’t believe I heard the words you just said
Can’t believe they graced your lips
Can’t believe you let em slip so quick
As the words get caught in my throat
Those million thoughts, they just float
Through my brain at a pace once impossible
And I find my lips have made the words impassable
Try as I might I can’t say that simple word
Can’t, as hard as I try, make it heard
Instead I give you a reason why
And it’s followed with an inaudible sigh
Cause I respect you way too much
To let you make such a massive stuff up
So I’ll give you a week or two
To think things all the way through
Give you the chance you need
Instead of trying to make the decision in a rush of speed
But in that time I’m sure you’ll see
The mistake you almost made, and the idea will flee
Your mind, leaving only one solution behind
And that’s why I left you the option of being kind
I promise to put on a brave face
While you state your case
I’ll smile wide even thought it hurts inside
Smile while every word I speak is a lie
Try as I might I can’t say those simple words
Can’t, as hard as I try, make them heard
Instead I give you a reason why
And it’s followed with an inaudible sigh
Cause I respect you way too much
To let you make such a massive stuff up
And I know it doesn’t seem
Like we’ll ever work as a team
But I promise in given time I’ll
Get over this, and greet you with a smile
But for now, forgive me cause
Try as I might I can’t say those simple words
Can’t, as hard as I try, make them heard
Instead I give you a reason why
And it’s followed with an inaudible sigh
Cause I respect you way too much
To let you make such a massive stuff up
I can’t believe I heard the words you just said
Can’t believe they graced your lips
Can’t believe you let em slip so quick
