Patience
Abandoning Sunday Lyrics

What's a few more years?
I'll do fine on my own somehow.
Don't worry about me.
And I can't find the words I need that tell me how I feel.
Convincing my heart that it's not my fault and praying none of this is real.
I'd like to wake up and be gone, like a real bad memory.
Like a nightmare in a dream.
And I can't keep this up for long and I won't even try.
To think that it only gets harder now but you won't ever see me cry.
I'd like to wake up and be gone, like a real bad memory.
Like a nightmare in a dream.
I'd love to open up my eyes and see you right there next to me, being all I'll ever need.
And don't you tell me it's all okay.
I can't hear a single word you say.
And I'll be the one that you won't forget.
And I'll make sure that you remember this.
I'd like to wake up and be gone, like a real bad memory.
Like a nightmare in a dream.
I'd love to open up my eyes and see you right there next to me, being all I'll ever need.
I'd like to wake up and be gone, like a real bad memory.
Like a nightmare in a dream.
I'd love to open up my eyes and see you right there next to me, being all I'll ever need.
Being all I'll ever need.
I don't need you right now.

The song "Patience" by Abandoning Sunday talks about the pain of being separated from someone you love and the difficulty of coping with that separation. Throughout the song, the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship, but is also trying to convince themselves that they will be okay on their own. They express a deep desire to wake up and have the person they love be right next to them, but at the same time, they understand that they need to move on and that it will take time.
The chorus that repeats throughout the song expresses this inner turmoil, as the singer goes back and forth between wanting to forget and wanting to remember. They want to forget the pain and memories associated with their lost love, but at the same time, they want to hold onto those memories and never forget what they had.
Overall, "Patience" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and difficulty of letting go of someone you love.
