Been good, been bad, got worse, got better.   I feel I know myself when i'm looking in the mirror.   Been hurt, been loved - I'm scarred, not bitter.   I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner.   But what do I do, and how should I be?   When I look at myself, I can only see me....      I need a little patience...      Been hard, been soft, been both, been neither   Above it all, I am only a survivor.   Been down,been low, got up, got higher -   We are only human, all just liars...   So I wait for the day when I open my eyes   And I look to myself, but it's no big surprise      I need a little patience...      Well i'm sitting here and sinking and i'm on the '8th floor   And i'm thinking do I jump or should I stay around for more?   I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer   But i'm not bitter   Time is ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on with a vengeance   I want it all   I want it all      I need a little patience....
