Patience

We should’ve stopped before it froze

Before we turned to what we don’t

Before the quiet took control

Before we let it go

Every line we never said

Still finds a way back in my head

Your name keeps hanging by a thread

Like it was never gone

Now I see I missed the signs

You stayed steady through the fights

We kept running out of time

Till there was none left

Now your name is on my lips

Like something I can’t resist

Every thought comes back to this

You’re still inside my head

Patience

You gave me more than I returned

Stayed while everything still burned

Patience

Now the quiet cuts too deep

You’re the part I couldn’t keep

Patience

I let your steady hands slip through

Now every road leads back to you

Now I’m staring at your side

Of the bed I never tried

Every moment still alive

Like it never changed

Maybe we were way too young

To know what we were made of

All the things we left undone

Keep me up at night

Now I know what I ignored

The kind of love worth waiting for

But timing closed the final door

Before I turned back

And the things you used to say

Still find me every single day

A thousand words I couldn’t save

Still stuck inside my head

If I could pull the hours back

I’d hold them long enough to last

Tell you all the things I lacked

Before we faded

But time moves on without a sound

And all the pieces settle down

Still somehow you’re all I found

Inside the silence

Patience

You were everything I missed

Hidden in between all this

Patience

Now I finally understand

What I lost inside your hands

Patience

Some things leave but never move

And every road still leads to you
