Waited Too Soon

We jumped in fast, no time to look back

Fighting shadows, lost track of what we lacked

You wore a mask, hiding all your scars

Acting brave beneath the starry bars

Caught in a lie, trying to impress

But honesty was what we needed best

Wanted something real, but it slipped away

Beneath the surface, where truth should stay

Now we wonder about the choices made

Echoes of love, don’t let it fade

You were intimidated, should’ve never tried to fake it

Wanted something official, but your ego couldn’t take it

Now we’re sitting here like why we dated

Love was too soon, yeah, we should have waited

Yeah, yeah… we should have waited

Broken dreams on a midnight street

Hindsight’s bitter, can’t delete

If we had just paused, maybe then

We’d find a way to start again

Lessons learned in a silent song

Sometimes love needs more time long

Yeah, we should have waited, waited
