Virtue - The Dangerous Summer

Patience is a virtue

And I never meant to hurt you

So does that make me the blame

Of everything that’s not the same

Patience is a virtue

And I’m staying out past curfew

So we let the hours pass

I’m not sure that I’m coming back

But you’re the still there

With a man who doesn’t care

We’re both still learning

But I stopped searching

For answers, to be clear

Take me far away from here

Think that love will be the source

Stay the path and run the course

It doesn’t matter what he does

I’m twice the man he never was

And if you think you’re getting

Off without a warning

Just remember every morning

I’m the face you can’t forget

I’m still around

It makes you sick to your stomach

And if you find that moral compass

Swallow it for quick relief

Think that love will be the source

Stay the path and run the course

It doesn’t matter what he does

I’m twice the man he never was

It doesn’t make me a great man

If I point out his failures

Don’t make me stoop so low

Does it make me a great man

If I can admit my failures

I’m not the guy that you used to know
