Patience Lyrics - Singles - Nerina Pallot

Been good, been bad, got worse, got better. 

I feel I know myself when i'm looking in the mirror. 

Been hurt, been loved - I'm scarred, not bitter. 

I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner. 

But what do I do, and how should I be? 

When I look at myself, I can only see me.... 

I need a little patience... 

Been hard, been soft, been both, been neither 

Above it all, I am only a survivor. 

Been down,been low, got up, got higher - 

We are only human, all just liars... 

So I wait for the day when I open my eyes 

And I look to myself, but it's no big surprise 

I need a little patience... 

Well i'm sitting here and sinking and i'm on the '8th floor 

And i'm thinking do I jump or should I stay around for more? 

I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer 

But i'm not bitter 

Time is ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on with a vengeance 

I want it all 

I want it all 

I need a little patience....
