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
