Patience
Majid Jordan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not your love
It's not for us
It's not our time to give
So I'm not gonna give it up
It's not your love
It's not for us
It's not our time we give
So I'm not gonna give it up

You can try to make me believe
But oh, just turn the cheek
Like you did to me
It's not your love
It's not for us
It's not our time to give
Cause I'm not gonna give it up

Waiting for you felt like it would be easy
But it's so hard
Feeling like I would be there
And now I just don't even care
It's so hard, it's so hard

I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night (I'm so tired with it all)
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night (I'm so tired with it all)
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
I can't go to sleep at night, sleep at night
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right
Without you it just ain't right, just ain't right

Loving you, loving...
It's easy, so easy
Loving you, loving...
It's easy, so easy
Loving you, loving...
It's easy, so easy





It's not your love
It's not for us...

Overall Meaning

In the song "Patience" by Majid Jordan, the artist expresses his reluctance to continue giving his love to someone or a situation. He repeats the phrase "It's not your love, it's not for us" to emphasize that the love he's been giving is not the right fit for the person or the moment. This can be interpreted as a message of self-preservation, where the artist recognizes that he should not force or cling to something that doesn't feel right. In the second and third verse, he talks about the difficulty in waiting, feeling like he would be there but realizing he no longer cares. The lyrics hint at a sense of exhaustion, specifically when the chorus says, "I'm so tired with it all." The artist concludes the song with the repetition of "Loving you, loving... It's easy, so easy," perhaps suggesting that love can be simple and effortless if it's the right one.


Overall, the song "Patience" conveys a bittersweet message of letting go and accepting when things no longer work out. It's a hopeful reminder that sometimes it's better to move on than to hold onto something that doesn't align with what we need or want.
