[Verse 1]
Confess, please, 'cause I did nothin' wrong
I paid with my past and completed the task, and then made it a habit
I need new beats 'cause I hear the same songs
I was ready to cash in on all of the sadness back when it was happenin'
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause now the time gone seems so silly
What will it take you to forgive me?
I feel weighted down
And I'm in a state of sorrow
You just hold on until tomorrow
If I ever figure it out, it out, it out
[Chorus]
I'll still be patient
What you know about patience?
It doesn't mean waitin'
Wait, did somebody say that?
Those two things ain't the samе, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm so ready, but did I do somethin' wrong?
'Causе I still feel the shadows when I'm made to dazzle
Will they see how much I've grown?
Oh, no, 'cause I never wanted someone to save me through those deep waters, I waded
How could I be doubtful when I spent all these hours
On all that I now know?
[Pre-Chorus]
But still, the time gone seems so silly
What will it take to forgive me?
I feel weighted down
And I'm in a state of sorrow
I just hold until tomorrow
I was supposed to figure this out, will they bless me now?
[Post-Chorus]
The more that you forgive me
The less that I will take
Lord, if You get in this house
You'd kill me for my sakes, and I
I'm not sick of tryin', but will it ever end?
Thought I'd feel so much better if I never felt again
[Bridge]
The torment don't stop
And it gets worse as you reach the top
So you keep on movin' like I better not
And like this work ain't somethin' to be proud of
But you know me, I always beg to differ
'Cause your right path won't ever miss you
You weren't supposed to figure this out, do you get it now?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know the time gone still seems so silly
What will it take you to forgive me?
I feel so weighted down, down
And I was in a state of sorrow
A little self-compassion led you to tomorrow
Guess you're wonderin' what this is all about, please, don't turn me down
Thank God for patience
[Chorus]
I'll try on this patience
No, it doesn't mean waitin'
Wait, did somebody say that?
Those two things ain't never been the same
