Patience

(album: The Way We Are - 2019)

Can't escape this endless cycle
It won't stop spinning in my head
And every night you somehow lure me right back to this regret
And I hold my tongue, you cut it out, and I can't accept
I just can't accept this
And you close the window tonight
The cold still settles in
And I cover up and you see right through my argument
And all the while you'll sit and wonder where I've been

Can't seem to make this go away
This never-ending price I pay
And I've got hope for this, 'cause I know, somehow, I'll see the light of day
And every time I wake I'm thinking of you
Don't leave it up to me, or I'll close my eyes for good

Sometimes I wish I could
Sometimes I think I should

Can't escape this endless cycle
Stop fucking with my head
All of my patience's running thin but I can't outrun all of my sin
And my heart won't leave cement, but I'll say I did
And I take it all
You just break it off
Still not giving up

Can't seem to make this go away
This never-ending price I pay
And I've got hope for this, 'cause I know, somehow, I'll see the light of day
And every breath I take I'm thinking of you
Don't leave it up to me, or I'll hold my breath for good

I just wish you knew I would
I just wish you understood

Can't escape this endless cycle it won't stop spinning in my head
And every night you somehow lure me right back to this regret
And I hold my tongue, you cut it out, and I can't accept
Why won't you forget?

I want to forget
