Patiently, you slipped away from me
It was the longest day, what else can she say
Patiently, I went home that night

And I sat down to write
But I couldn′t think of anything to write that night

Patiently, you took you away from me
Oh god i want you back
Oh god we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently

Patiently, you never had the chance
Couldn't say your piece, oh good night
Patiently, though it wasn′t right
You could not be here, put up a fight

Patiently, you took you away from me
Oh God we wan't you back
Oh God we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently

You fell into silence
And this silence has given me patience
And this patience has left me some silence
I hate on this silence, oh God we miss our friend
Oh so patiently
I will never remember anything, oh and I remember that
So late I was on my way home
That night at the show, things weren't just the same

It was an empty space, right in the front row
I got to my house, picked up the phone
It fell right out of my hand It′s sad that it take something
To let you know, how many friends you had
You never will know, I hope you can see this now
You have so much love that surrounded you
When we got to her house, the sun has just come up
Everybody was standing around shocked
Didn′t know just what to do I guess they decided they'd do just what you would want them to do
We all came together, in such a beautiful way
And helped everybody get through this time in a delicate way
And as the years have passed, there′s something you need to know They're all living for you
You had so many friends, just know that they′re loving you
When you decide to come with us, just know that we're with you

Patiently
Oh so patiently I wish you were right here by our side
Oh god we miss you our friend
Oh so patiently
