Lyrics: Maria Mena. Patience.

Damn you,
for trusting me
what's wrong with you
I'll work for nothing else?

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.
