lyrics

Your mother always said that patience was a virtue
Carry all it’s weight in moments that you go through
Taking little time to comprehend my thoughts
Is making up your mind as someone that you’re not

Keep on stabbing at me
Take your shots and believe
All was worth it as I bleed

The summer that we spent our days out in the water
Taught me to repent and live a little calmer
There’s nothing that you did but lose an honest friend
And sometimes that’s the bid you place to mend your head

Keep on buying the dream
See my car parked and leave
Cause maybe you’re just what she needs

I’m not trying to fight you
Trying to spite you
Or ruin your days
I’m just bringing some light to
Things I advise you
To change in your ways

Cause the world ain’t as forgiving as you think

Your brother always said of things that made me worry
And funny how you left like you were in a hurry
I cherish every night I saw you sleeping there
Dreaming of the guys to whom I am compared

Keep on lying to me
Death always comes in three’s
Save some face and let me be

I’m not trying to fight you
Trying to spite you
Or ruin your days
I’m just bringing some light to
The things I advise you
To change in your ways

Cause the world ain’t as forgiving as
The world ain't as forgiving as
The world ain't as forgiving as you think
