Lyrics

Patience

[Verse 1]

Confess, please, 'cause I did nothin' wrong

I paid with my past and completed the task, and then made it a habit

I need new beats 'cause I hear the same songs

I was ready to cash in on all of the sadness back when it was happenin'

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause now the time gone seems so silly

What will it take you to forgive me?

I feel weighted down

And I'm in a state of sorrow

You just hold on until tomorrow

If I ever figure it out, it out, it out

[Chorus]

I'll still be patient

What you know about patience?

It doesn't mean waitin'

Wait, did somebody say that?

Those two things ain't the samе, yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm so ready, but did I do somethin' wrong?

'Causе I still feel the shadows when I'm made to dazzle

Will they see how much I've grown?

Oh, no, 'cause I never wanted someone to save me through those deep waters, I waded

How could I be doubtful when I spent all these hours

On all that I now know?

[Pre-Chorus]

But still, the time gone seems so silly

What will it take to forgive me?

I feel weighted down

And I'm in a state of sorrow

I just hold until tomorrow

I was supposed to figure this out, will they bless me now?

[Post-Chorus]

The more that you forgive me

The less that I will take

Lord, if You get in this house

You'd kill me for my sakes, and I

I'm not sick of tryin', but will it ever end?

Thought I'd feel so much better if I never felt again

[Bridge]

The torment don't stop

And it gets worse as you reach the top

So you keep on movin' like I better not

And like this work ain't somethin' to be proud of

But you know me, I always beg to differ

'Cause your right path won't ever miss you

You weren't supposed to figure this out, do you get it now?

[Pre-Chorus]

But I know the time gone still seems so silly

What will it take you to forgive me?

I feel so weighted down, down

And I was in a state of sorrow

A little self-compassion led you to tomorrow

Guess you're wonderin' what this is all about, please, don't turn me down

Thank God for patience

[Chorus]

I'll try on this patience

No, it doesn't mean waitin'

Wait, did somebody say that?

Those two things ain't never been the same
