[Verse 1]

Gone now I keep my distance

But still show persistence in trying to find out how you are

It's really testing my patience, watching you waste this

Life that you have of yours in a bar

And I get the feeling that you're gonna leave him

Cause you just can't seem to get off

You're so appealing, you can get anyone that you want somehow



[Chorus 1]

Patience is useless when I'm sober and you're wasted

And you don't wanna hear it, so go on just leave it



[Verse 2]

Calm down, can't we get level?

Can't we be civil? We share a lot of things

And yeah, I think back when it was simple

Before I had earned some, and all I ever did was sing

Been caught under pressure, trying to measure

How I feel 'bout this whole thing

You're so appealing, you can get anyone that you want somehow



[Chorus 2]

Patience is useless when I'm sober and you're wasted

And you don't wanna hear it so go on just leave it

And I count the times that I'm driving home

I'm talking to myself like I'm not alone

Trying to figure to out who I've been running from

Gotta figure out who I've been running from



[Bridge]

I keep my distance now

Forcing my jaw to smile

I keep my distance now

Forcing my jaw to smile



[Chorus 2]

Patience is useless when I'm sober and you're wasted

And you don't wanna hear it so go on just leave it

And I count the times that I'm driving home

I'm talking to myself like I'm not alone

Trying to figure to out who I've been running from

Gotta figure out who I've been running from
