Lyrics
I thought I’d mind that you heard me say it out loud.
But I didn’t stop, and that scares me now.
I should’ve turned my head, lowered my voice,
Should’ve shut that door, made a different choice.
But you stood there quiet, didn’t interrupt,
Didn’t judge my truth, didn’t call my bluff.
You didn’t ask me to stay, didn’t beg me to choose,
You just stood there loving me, like there’s nothing to lose.
I don’t know how to take love that way,
But I’m still thinking about it…every day.
You talk about forever, like it’s real,
Like it’s something, you already feel.
You say my name, like it’s part of your plans,
And I don’t know how, to hold that in my hands.
You don’t cage me, you don’t claim,
You don’t play anybody’s game.
You just say if I ever want,
You’ll be here, like before.
I don’t know when, I’m ready.
But I haven’t walked away.
I’m still thinking about it, every day.
I’ve been left before, I’ve watched love leave.
I learned to hold myself and not believe.
But you see all the cracks in me,
And still don’t turn aside.
And that kind of mercy has nowhere to hide.
Because you’re not the kind, you lose and survive.
You’re the kind that changes a life.
If I say yes, it’s all the way.
If I say no, I still don’t stray.
Because you’ve already reached my heart.
Without asking for any part of me.
Love doesn’t chase or plead.
Maybe love’s the only creed.
And maybe, I’m closer than I say,
Still thinking about you,
Everyday!
