In Due Time

Intro (R&B – soft, breathy)

Right here…

mmh… yeah…

I been lookin’ for you…

Everywhere…

Verse 1 – R&B (Her)

Love, I look for you constantly

I search and I search, endlessly

High and low, every street, every face

Even in all the wrong places

Love, I look for your affection

Just one touch, some direction

Something to let me know you exist

To feel that you are the one I miss

(Ad-libs: mmh… right here… yeah…)

But I had to move on

Didn’t know love could be dangerous

All the hurt, all the pain it brings

Had me thinking you were never meant for me

Pre-Chorus – R&B

You whispered in my ear so soft

“Be patient, don’t give up”

Said, “Baby, wait your turn

In due time, love will come”

(Ad-libs: slow down… mmh…)

Chorus – R&B

I was looking in the dark for light

Running from myself every night

Thought love was something I’d never find

Then you said, “Just wait… in due time”

Right here… mmh… yeah…

I feel it in my soul now

Maybe love was never lost

It was just late, that’s all

⸻

Verse 2 – Rap (Him)

I was searching too, broken maps, wrong roads

Every heart I touched left my hands cold

Chasin’ ghosts, thinkin’ love was a myth

Every “almost” left me emptier than this

I tried to rush what wasn’t ready

Tried to pour from cups already empty

Every scar taught me what I ain’t need

Every tear built the man you see

I learned patience in the pain

Learned growth in the rain

Every “no” made room for your name

Every loss rewrote my aim

Now I stand here, open palms

No armor, no alarms

If love’s a risk, I’ll take the fall

’Cause you feel like home in a world this cold

(Ad-libs behind: mmh… yeah… right here…)

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Both

A voice kept whispering deep inside

“Be still, your time will arrive”

Every broken road aligned

To lead us here—right on time

(Ad-libs: just us… hold me…)

Chorus – Both

We were looking in the dark for light

Running from ourselves every night

Thought love was something we’d never find

Then we learned to wait—in due time

Right here… mmh… yeah…

Now I feel it in my soul

Love was never really lost

It was just late, that’s all

⸻

Bridge – R&B (Her, then Him)

Her: I searched the world, thought you were gone

Him: I built these walls, stayed too strong

Both: But love was working behind the scenes

Teaching hearts how to believe

(Ad-libs: slow down… mmh… yeah…)

Final Chorus – Both

We were looking in the dark for light

Running from ourselves every night

Now I know I was never behind

I was just waiting—in due time

Right here… mmh… yeah…

I don’t have to search no more

Love didn’t miss me at all

It just arrived… in due time

Outro

Right here…

mmh… yeah…

Love was never gone…

It was just on its way.
