well patiently you slipped away from me
 
 i want that day back, i want that day back
 
 but so patiently i went home that night
 
 and i sat down to write 
 
 but i couldn't think of anything to write that night
 
  
  i said but patiently you just went away
 
 oh god i want you back
 
 oh god i miss you my friend
 
 oh so patiently
  
 
 oh so patiently you slipped away that day
 
 i never got the chance to say you're my boy
 
 patiently i never got to say
 
 i miss those times, oh i do
  
 
 patiently you went away that night
 
 and i just sat and sighed
 
 oh god i miss you my friend
 
 oh so patiently
  
 
 all this silence turns to patience
 
 and this patience has returned to silence
 
 all this silence has turned to patience
 
 oh so patiently
  
 
 you touched us, you left us with silence
 
 when you were here, there never was silence
 
 you slipped away that day into silence
 
 but i can't for the life of me figure out why
  
 
 that day fell too silence
 
 when you were with us 
 
 there wasn't a moment of silence
 
 and this silence has turned to patience
 
 and this patience has returned to silence
  
 
 but oh so patiently you slipped away from me
 
 oh god i want you back
 
 oh god i miss you my friend
 
 oh so patiently
