I'm not opposed to giving in
But who's interest would that be in?
Love's what compromise is for
As long as half the giving's yours
I don't object that you make me wait
Stranded in a neutral state
Patience is a virtue, true
But patience has it's boundaries too
And I don't mind you hide our love
There's someone else you must think of
I'll aid your case to any length
But secrets aren't the path to strength
And I won't resist the tender cage
I won't withdrawal in fear or rage
The greater I survive, the more I am alive
I don't care if you don't trust
Or think my motives born of lust
Faith can be my gift to you
But gifts must have their limits too
Patience is a virtue, true
But patience has it's boundaries too
