Patience

[Chorus: Keeley Cauble]
God grant me some courage
And God grant me serenity
To control what I can
And have wisdom in intensity
If patience is a virtue
Give it to me so I can reflect you
Help me let go of my pride
And remind me in you that I abide

[Verse 1]
I ain’t got no patience
I don’t hear your voice
You be talking bout your feelings
I enter the void
Tryna shut out all the stupid things
I once enjoyed
Showing love is too much work
And I've been unemployed
I don’t wanna listen
I don’t care ‘bout what you say
Screaming in the kitchеn in my face
Don’t avoid the tension
Looking for a safеr place to stay
I feel way too inconsistent way too late
An old tradition
Sitting on the oasis of faith
How we take the credit
But we shift the blame?
On a mission
Level up until we win the game
I wonder if I’ll ever make your day
Cause I know sometimes
I ruin what we had and how we living
With the selfishness I track
When I’m mad and independent
And it’s negligent of me
To assume you’d be defensive
For the hell of it
Cause that’s what I do
And I can’t risk it anymore

[Chorus]
God grant me some courage
God grant me serenity
To control what I can
And have wisdom in intensity
If patience is a virtue
Give it to me so I can reflect you
Help me let go of my pride
And remind me in you that I abide

[Verse 2]
I am way too insecure
To admit when I lose my temper
Tell you that you’re wrong
Because you said something
I don’t remember
Promise I’ll protect you
But I’m still the number one offender
Had a couple drinks
You start to think that this is all pretend
I’m far from where I wish I was
I got a ways to go
I tried to slow it down and take a breath
But I’m losing control
I wish I didn’t have to wish
For things I should already know
But when I lean on what I think
I never get the right result
I’m in a hurry every moment
Never stop to smell the roses
Even though I know I chose this
Life is not what I thought
Lately my mind is never open
But my soul remains so broken
That no matter what you tell me
I put up a mental block
Cause I know sometimes I ruin what we had
And how we living
With the selfishness I track
When I’m mad and independent
And it’s negligent of me to assume
You’d be defensive for the hell of it
Cause that’s what I do
And I can’t risk it anymore

[Chorus]
God grant me some courage
God grant me serenity
To control what I can
And have wisdom in intensity
If patience is a virtue
Give it to me so I can reflect you
Help me let go of my pride
And remind me in you that I abide

[Chorus]
God grant me some courage
God grant me serenity
To control what I can
And have wisdom in intensity
If patience is a virtue
Give it to me so I can reflect you
Help me let go of my pride
And remind me in you that I abide

[Outro]
Cole, where are you going?
