That Thing Called Patience Lyrics

Lets talk.
Lets talk about breathing in and out. Count to ten again. For you, I hold my breath. Everybody look the other way, talking when there's nothing left to say. These roads are walking you.
I don't want to turn the other way.
I don't want to leave but I can't stay. These roads are walking you. So lets talk. Lets talk about breathing in and out. I bite my, I bite my fucking tongue. For you I hold my breath. I don't want to turn the other way. I don't want to leave, but I can't stay. These roads are walking you. Patience, Oh that thing called patience... Are you as blissful as you are ignorant???
You are constantly reminding me to remember to forget you. Your choices are my consequence.
Your actions, my regrets

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i love this song , I think when she says "Everybody look the other way , talking when there's nothing left to say" its about ppl being ignorant and ignoring the real problem and "thses roads are walking you" means that rather then you chosing your own path you just fall into soicity and therefour "they walk you". and there's someone she knows whos selling herself out to soicity or already has but she keeps on waiting for them to relize "For you I hold my breath"

"you are constantly reminding me to remmember to forget you" , she's saying that shes constantly thinking of giving up hope on them because they're never going to change so she has to leave "I dont want to leave but i cant stay"

dunno , its just a thought
