to be all she wants
i can not do
all the things it would take
to pull it through

she has far too high expectations
she thinks she deserves all she can get
what she wants from me
is something i can not be

be patient
try harder
i'll help you in my own way
see clearer
be happy
honey it will be alright

let's sit down and talk for a while
or spend some time with friends
and you'll be fine

you never wake up
in the morning
you never go to bed at night
try an ordinary lifestyle
and see what it can do

be patient
try harder
i'll help you in my own way
see clearer
be happy
honey it will be alright

this is all that i can do
from here you're on your own
and though you won't be here tonight
i hope that we're still friends

be patient
try harder
i'll help you in my own way
see clearer
be happy
honey it will be alright
