You are a chameleon
That forgot its original color
Please take your time
To find out who you really are
It's like I'm lying at your feet
Awaiting your mercy
And there's nothing more I can do
Than patiently wait
And swallow my pride
Swallow my pride
Swallow my pride
Youth is impatience
I'm learning to wait and bear
"You worry too much", they say
"Relax, over time you'll get numb"
It's a strange war we're in
With a wall between us
Through which I can't even watch
Foreign troops gaining ground
And I swallow my pride
Swallow my pride
Swallow my pride
I wish I could do something (I've tried so hard)
I wish I could settle your inner fights (Tried so hard)
I've always tried to be there for you
I've tried so hard (Tried so hard)
But I'm not strong enough (So hard)
To carry us both
And now I'm lying at your feet
Awaiting your mercy
And there's nothing more I can do
Than patiently wait
