Patient Love

Verse 1 Another midnight glowing on my phone screen Miles between the silence and the sound You’re drowning in the rush of everyday things Feet barely touching on the ground I type out a message, then hit backspace I don't wanna add weight to your chest I know your world is moving at a cruel pace So I’ll keep quiet, let you catch your breath Pre-Chorus They say to ask for what you need To speak up when it feels too cold But I’d rather swallow down the noise Than give you another hand to hold Chorus So take the day, take every hour I’ll stay steady in the quiet spaces I won't complain, I won't turn sour Counting miles between our faces If minutes are all you can afford to give That’s fine, that’s plenty for me to live on Silence is better than a nagging tongue And I’m still here, still in love, still yours. Verse 2 A three-minute call before you fall asleep Your voice is tired, faded around the edge I hold back every promise that I want to reap Keep every longing thought on the ledge It’s safer this way, softly unseen A gentle shadow that won’t ask for more I won't be the storm in your routine Just a light left on behind the door Pre-Chorus They say that silence makes you fade That distance slowly steals the spark But this isn't hurt, it’s just a choice To keep you anchored in the dark Chorus So take the day, take every hour I’ll stay steady in the quiet spaces I won't complain, I won't turn sour Counting miles between our faces If minutes are all you can afford to give That’s fine, that’s plenty for me to live on Silence is better than a nagging tongue And I’m still here, still in love, still yours. Bridge I don’t need long speeches or empty time Just knowing you’re out there is enough to be mine It doesn't hurt when I know what you bear My patience is my own way to care Outro Go to sleep now, close your eyes I’ll hold the distance under quiet skies No complaints, no bitter trace Just an easy, patient love in place.
