lyrics

I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known
While love and understanding is all I’ve shown
I must face the truth that's in front of me
When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free

*** It’s hard not to cry – Just to hold it all in
When you suffer in silence and your smile’s growing thin
If the tears start to flow you know they wouldn’t end
So I just keep smiling and holding it in

I try to hang in there it’s the thing to do
Travel down the way of the righteous and true
Sometimes entertaining thoughts of escape
A fantasy dream as the day evaporates

***
No it just isn’t easy to shut off my mind
There are too many thoughts that I can’t leave behind
And the drumbeat I’m hearing is surely my heart
As it cries out in pain while it’s breaking apart.

***

I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known
While love and understanding is all I’ve shown
I must face the truth that's in front of me
When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free

***
