You Go First - You Go First lyrics

We are partners, we are a team Together we'll have everything we dream If we combine our efforts there's nothing we can't do You'll support me, but first I'll support you For now we'll go after the things that you need A single objective to help you succeed Because I'm as important to you as you are to me I'll get what I need eventually But you go first And I'll take the rest And it will all work out for the best I have patience because I understand you And can wait to do all of the things that I planned to But what is that elusive thing you'll earn That makes you finally realize it's my turn Am I fooling myself that we're really united The love is there but the respect unrequited I am your anchor, do I just hold you in place The eye of your storm, am I just empty space But you go first And I'll take the rest And it will all work out for the best You know an object at rest stays at rest You can't have inertia with things unexpressed By the time I knew politeness Was the opposite of brilliance I'd spent my resources And lost my resilience Without me you pick up where you left off Without you I'm back where I started But you go first And I'll take the rest And it will all work out for the best I know you didn't consciously deceive And neither did I when I chose to believe But now I am stuck in a place I can't leave While I watch you achieve and achieve and achieve I guess maybe I knew how much you would cost That when I said yes that I'd already lost But now I'm so tired and not sure how to pursue it And I don't have a partner like me to help me do it
