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 be me

I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
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

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
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
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, no
Time is ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, on with a vengeance
I want it all
I want it all

I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
I need a little patience
