How many times did you say "This'll go somewhere"?
How many times did you say "I'm yours forever"
But end up not taking it there?
I understand that you want a man by your side
Being lonely's a feeling you can't seem to bare
But you rush in too fast
Get too attached
And you pray for the best
But for the worst you're prepared
And I cant help but wonder why
You spent so much time on guys
Who didn't think like you did
Bout how many years you'll put in this relationship
Even the names of your kids
You're so far ahead of yourself
Even when you knew they were so far from interested
In the future you had in mind
The future you think about all the time
Yeah
Don't let your past interfere with everything we got goin' now
Trying to build us something great, takes time, hope you know this now
Never had a love that could last
This is different lemme show you how
Its a marathon, not a race, to hold it down
Gotta slow it down
