Nerina Pallot Patience lyrics

Been good, been bad, got worse, got better
I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror
Been hurt, been loved, I'm scarred, not bitter

I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner
But what do I do, and how should I be?
When I look at myself, I can only see me

I need a little patience

Been hard, been soft, been both, been neither
Above it all, I am only a survivor
Been down, been low, got up, got higher

We are only human, all just liars
So I wait for the day when I open my eyes
And I look to myself, but it's no big surprise

I need a little patience


Well, I'm sitting here and sinking
And I'm on the 8th floor
And I'm thinking do I jump
Or should I stay around for more?

I watch my friends get bigger
And get better and get richer
But I'm not bitter

Time is ticking, ticking, ticking
Ticking, ticking on with a vengeance
I want it all, I want it all

I need a little patience
