### (Verse 1 - **Soft, intimate delivery**)
I look at the clock, seven hours ahead
And wonder if you're sleeping, or just staring at your bed.
You keep the line between us, humming with this static sound
I'm walking on the tension of this very shaky ground.
I know you carry burdens that are heavy and they're yours,
And I hate that my devotion just adds pressure to your doors.
### (Pre-Chorus)
I'm so sorry that my loving only seems to bring you stress
I see the furrow in your brow, and I know I make it less
Than easy. I'm exhausting. I keep searching for the crack
But I'd give up my whole future just to finally earn your back.
### (Chorus - **Emotional build, voice breaks slightly**)
> **I'm giving you my heart now, completely on a plate**
> **But the distance keeps the timing, and the feeling keeps the wait.**
> **I just want to love you, but you need that "good place" first**
> **And I'm scared I'll never get us there, before this whole thing bursts.**
> **If I'm the one who's breaking us, I swear I'll disappear.**
> **But please, let me love you now, while I'm still standing here.**
### (Verse 2 - **Frustration and desire mix**)
You talk about the future, the house, the perfect light
But I just want to forget all that and make it through tonight.
I need that simple closeness, the proof we're side-by-side
A moment of surrender where we don't have anything to hide.
I crave that one connection, where the chaos falls away
I just want your permission to be your relief today.
### (Bridge - **Slow and vulnerable plea**)
I know you have your boundaries, you have your certain way
And I honor that. I truly do, I promise every day.
But baby, look at me, look at the fight in my own eyes
I'm trying to hold onto you while everything else dies.
If leaving is the quiet that you need to find your ease,
Then tell me and I'll walk away, and try to bring you peace...
### (Chorus - **Powerful, desperate delivery**)
> **I'm giving you my heart now, completely on a plate**
> **But the distance keeps the timing, and the feeling keeps the wait.**
> **I just want to love you, but you need that "good place" first**
> **And I'm scared I'll never get us there, before this whole thing bursts.**
> **If I'm the one who's breaking us, I swear I'll disappear.**
> **But please, let me love you
