Pace Myself

You built up all your walls
So I couldn't knock them down
And I can't say that I haven't tried
The height I'm fallin' from
There's nothing I can do now
But when I hit the ground I will survive

And as it turns out, the frame is only big enough for two
So I'll stop trying to paint myself next to you
And as it turns out sometimes you're only meant to lose
So till the race is done, I'll pace myself for you

Don't you tell me what I don't know
What's wrong with everything I do
I can't seem to do much right by you
I'm not lookin' to even score
I'm lookin' just to make my way through
I've been at it so long I'm good and bruised

And as it turns out the frame is only big enough for two
So I'll stop trying to paint myself next to you
And as it turns out sometimes you're only meant to lose
So till the race is done, I'll pace myself for you [Outro]
And as it turns out the frame is only big enough for two
So I'll stop trying to paint myself next to you
