(Verse 1)
You feel like nobody understands
Your mind is racing, thoughts are cluttered up
In your head you see the ending,
But it doesn’t matter, it’s alright
(Chorus)
You’re just a patient, taking your time
You’ll get through this, it’s alright
You’re just a patient, waiting for the right time
To reveal yourself, it’s alright
(Verse 2)
You feel like nobody cares, you’re just another number in the system
But it doesn’t matter, it’s alright
You’ll be alright, you’ll be alright
(Chorus)
You’re just a patient, taking your time
You’ll get through this, it’s alright
You’re just a patient, waiting for the right time
To reveal yourself, it’s alright
(Bridge)
The days go by and they blur together
The pain is constant, but you hold on together
You may feel alone, but you’re not forgotten
It’s alright, you’ll be alright
(Chorus)
You’re just a patient, taking your time (Taking your time)
You’ll get through this, it’s alright (It’s alright)
You’re just a patient, you don’t have to fight (No need to fight)
To reveal yourself, it’s alright (Oh, it’s alright)
(Outro)
Just hold on, you’ll be alright. It’s alright. You will be alright.
