Verse 1
We were sitting in my truck, just passing time
Felt like years in a moment, you were mine
You’d fall asleep with your head on me
And I swore that’s where I’d always be
Everything felt calm, like I was enough
Like the noise in my head finally gave up
In that moment, it all felt true
Like I found peace somewhere in you
Pre-Chorus
I wasn’t perfect, I know that now
Just needed time to figure it out
Chorus
Before I could be everything you needed
Before I could show you what I was becoming
I didn’t even get to show you who I could be
If you just gave me a little more time, you would’ve seen
I knew it was coming, I felt it inside
Like something was slipping I couldn’t rewind
And I still couldn’t stop it, no matter how I tried
Before I could be… you said goodbye
Verse 2
I know I’m not perfect, no one is
But I still tried to be better than this
I wasn’t finished, I was learning how
Just needed time to figure it out
When it got heavy, I lost my words
Not because I didn’t care, it hurt
I shut down, yeah I know I do
But I was still trying to fight for you
Pre-Chorus 2
You thought you were too much for me
But you were the only place I felt peace
Chorus
Before I could be everything you needed
Before I could show you what I was becoming
I didn’t even get to show you who I could be
If you just gave me a little more time, you would’ve seen
I knew it was coming, I felt it inside
Like something was slipping I couldn’t rewind
And I still couldn’t stop it, no matter how I tried
Before I could be… you said goodbye
Bridge
I’m sorry for the times I went quiet
When you needed words, I couldn’t find them
I wasn’t running, I was overwhelmed
Still trying to understand myself
I was ready for highs and lows
I meant every word, I hope you know
You thought you were a burden to me
But you were the only thing that gave me peace
Prayer
Lord, if I can’t be the one to hold her hand tonight
Then be the one who guides her when I’m not by her side
Give her peace when her thoughts won’t let her rest
Put Your hand on her heart, remind her she’s blessed
When she’s hurting and I’m not there to stay
Be the voice in the silence that shows her the way
If I can’t protect her like I said I would do
Then I’m trusting her safety, God, fully with You
Watch over her steps, every road that she takes
Be her calm in the storm, steady ground when it shakes
And if she ever thinks she’s too much to be loved
Show her what I saw… and remind her she’s enough
Final Chorus
Before I could be everything I knew I’d be
Before I could prove what you meant to me
I didn’t even get to show you who I could be
If you just gave me a little more time, you would’ve seen
I knew it was coming, I felt it inside
But I couldn’t stop it, no matter how I tried
I won’t force you to stay this time
But I wish you saw what I was becoming inside
