Marathon Not a Sprint

Honey you were good for me but I can't deny my need to be free grows

I resigned myself to climb the stairs to your

Winning thighs and endless prayers alone

My new-found confidence you hate, everything put down to fate

Nothing less or more

It's a marathon and not a sprint

That's what we said before we quit

Love should grow

Should boast

I feel I'm doing time

With someone not on my side

A mystery divide

Brings me close

To who I love the most

A friend from the capital came to visit

Will she comfort me or does she want to gossip

Who knows?

I'll take these worries to the park

I won't come home until after dark

Noone will know except you of course

I'll go swimming and ride a bike

Maybe turn into someone that you'd like

It's a marathon and not a sprint

That's what we said before we quit

Love should grow, should boast
