Patience

Maria Mena

Damn you for trusting me
what's wrong with you?
I'll work for nothing less.

Damn you for accepting my immaturity
when I scream for silence
child, I'll work for nothing less.

I need patience, and someone strong enough
to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak,
for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.

Damn you for letting me sleep till noon
and get away with it.
I'll work for nothing less.

Damn you for keeping quiet when I like to
I won't work for anything less.

I need patience, and someone strong enough
to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak,
for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, aaaah...

I need patience, and someone strong enough
to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak,
for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak,
for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.
