my
              
Staring at the

        
 sink of blood

              
 and crushed v

I tell my love

 to wreck it a

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

Come on skinny

Sullen load is

        
 full; so slow

[Chorus]
  
I told you to 

be patient
           
I told you to

Now all your l

ove is wasted?
            
Then who the h

Now I'm breaki

And at the end

          
 of all your l

ines

[Outro]

Who will love 

you?
        
Who will fight

?
           
Who will fall 

       
far behind?
