The patience of a saint

from Humptamatic by Humpty Dumpty

lyrics

Haven't seen you around dear lady
These last days I'm thinking of
What could have occurred to you baby
What's the cause of this oblivion
Because I sense it in your mind before than in your words
Knowing that in women silence is the cruellest among weapons
I learnt their world
And looking for exceptions
A different way
Of watering love

I must admit I hate you baby
I can't perform the part of the weak one
'cause in love I'm just the antonym
Of an accountant or a suede glove
So please rip all the letters that I wrote you
when I was in love
you know stupidity is a precious goddamn thing and something that you can't truly afford
consult a lawyer or a notary
when you shoot your next dove
which is flying above in sky

And if my feelings are still fainting
I will find another way
'cause I really can't find meaning
In the patience of a saint
'cause I am an atheist
And despise pain
Do what you do

I met you with your new boy baby
It's a kind of energumeno
Kinda different from the previous
The one you dressed with a black cassock
And I see you proudly wear a purple-brown eye
And I think I understand that morbid suffering smile
You didn't even greet me
How can it be?

So if your feelings are still cheating
you will find another way
there is still a silver lining
In the patience of a saint
And if your feelings are still breathing
then it means you're good enough
there is still a silver lining
In the torture of the soul

And you are so faithful
you know how
to face your pain
