Love Is Patient

You can listen to the song while reading the lyrics if you'd like to-

Just press play!

They say that love is patient

It's a beautiful idea, I guess

Who would've thought there'd be someone

who could fall in love with all my mess?

❤️

You knocked, I said, "Please go away."

You'll be afraid of what you'll see...

I'm scarred. I'm angry. I'm unraveling.

You won't want someone like me.

❤️

I told you I was breaking

told you I was barely here

but you didn't flinch or falter

You just stayed and drew me near

❤️

❤️-CHORUS-❤️

Because love is patient, love is kind

It stays even when you're scared

It does not envy, does not boast

It shows up when you're unprepared

And every time I tried to push you

farther from the mess I was

You kept knocking on the door

You always loved me. Just because.

Just because.

❤️

You deserve somebody better

someone who isn't burning inside

someone who has their life together

someone who never wished they'd died

❤️

But you kept saying I was worth it

Worth the waiting. Worth the fight.

You repeated it so gently

that it pulled me back to life

❤️

My door was chained and locked up

I was hiding in my shame

but you knew and still kept knocking

and then tattooed on my name

❤️

-CHORUS-

❤️

I said, "Leave me here in silence."

But you asked if you could stay.

I said, "I don't wanna talk right now."

But you refused to walk away...

and somehow in the quiet

in the fear I've tried to hide...

You showed me what forgiveness

really looks like from inside

❤️

Because love is patient. Love is kind.

It stays even when you're scared

It does not envy, does not boast

It shows up when you're unprepared

I'm glad you waited for me

Glad you didn't run away...

I'm grateful that I have you

and I know you're here to stay.

❤️
