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
