Pour a little

My, my, my, my

my
              
Staring at the

            
 sink of blood

             
 and crushed v


eneer

           
I tell my love

Cut out all th

[Chorus]

I told you to 

be patient
             
I told you to 

   
be fine

I told you to 

be balanced
             
I told you to 

    
be kind

In the morning

 I'll be with 

you
             
But it will be

              
 a different "


kind"

I'll be holdin

And you'll be

Come on skinny

Sullen load is

            
 full; so slow

[Chorus]

I told you to 

be patient
             
I told you to 

    
be fine

I told you to 

be balanced
             
I told you to

Now all your l

ove is wasted?
             
Then who the h

       
ell was I?

Now I'm breaki

ng at the brit

ches
             
And at the end

              
 of all your l


ines

[Bridge]

Who will love 

you?
         
Who will fight

?

Who will fall
     
far behind?
