Impatience Lyrics

You've never been the one to blame (You've never been the one to blame)
That one to know that I'm at fault
But never take it out on me
If the two of us were both the same
I wouldn't know where I need to be
You're the bigger picture I can't see

This one goes out to you, solitude
At least that's what I call it
Keeping those streets of gold on my mind
I don't know why
As the years, they pass me by
It gets harder just to take my time

No one to keep me from you
No one to stay my hands from seeking the truth
From reaching up for the only hope I ever knew
For every time I wasn't honest, kind, or true

I used to think I was lucky, but I've realized now I'm just blessed
That I found some sort of home in a heart even though I lived so long in selfishness
'cause I've learned that you know my heart more than you know my routine, and most nights it's all I need to be able to fall asleep
'cause I've learned running away from home is like finding strength in weakness, but I always come back around knowing that I can't continue to live like this
So thank you for your honesty, I've found that love has gone from just being sobering to being so refreshing And even if pain doesn't go away, I just thank God you decided to stay
'cause I know I have purpose when you purposely tell me that you see something in me, even when I can't see myself
Even when I can't see myself

If this hasn't been waiting in vain
I could consider this monogamy
Living devoted and betrothed to the one
Who believed in me and wouldn't give up

If the clock looks like it ticks too slow
Even when it's given time to grow
I'll know for sure that it was my own impatience
That I'd feel better if my ego was vacant

In closing, I'd like to thank you for her
For every word she spoke that helped me rest assured
That I'm not lonely, that I'm not falling away
For every time she reminds me of you, and lives up to her name

Thank you for everything
Thank you for having patience with me
Thank you for reminding me
That God is all that I will ever need
Thank you for praying for me
Thank you for giving me room to breathe
Thank you for letting me see
Who I am and who I want to be
