Wrong Time, Same Love

Male: Yeah… why it gotta feel this right and hurt this bad?

Female: I know…

Both: Same love… wrong time.

⸻

I swear I tried to love you through my chaos

But my mind too dark, too many scars to lay off

Every time you got close, I pulled away

Not ‘cause I ain’t care — I just ain’t okay

I got demons that I don’t know how to name

Past still burnin’ like a hidden flame

And you deserve a version of me that heals

Not this broken man still fightin’ what he feels

⸻

And I wanted to stay, but I’m damaged too

Smilin’ outside while I’m barely movin’ through

You touched places I kept locked tight

But my own fears start wars at night

I got trust issues stitched in my skin

Every time love starts, I panic within

So even when I hold you, I still retreat

Like my heart and my pain never meet

⸻

Both:

Love this deep shouldn’t feel this rough

But we both got wounds that make it tough

You need healing, I need peace

But neither one of us knows release

Male: I love you, but I’m fightin’ myself

Female: I need you, but I can’t get help

Both: Damn… we got love, but not the space

To hold each other through this phase

⸻

Some nights I stare at your name, don’t call

Know if I hear your voice, I’ll break and fall

I wanna fix what I can’t even face

Hard to build love when I hate my place

And I know I hurt you when I shut down cold

But pain make silence easier to hold

I ain’t proud of the walls I built this high

I just learned too young how to hide

⸻

And I ain’t innocent, I got storms too

I hear your love, but I still run through

Every promise sounds sweet then sharp

‘Cause I still got cracks across my heart

I want forever, but forever scares me

What if I stay and you still can’t hear me?

What if I love and still lose my breath?

What if we break under all this stress?

⸻

Both:

Love this deep shouldn’t feel this rough

But we both got wounds that make it tough

You need healing, I need peace

But neither one of us knows release

Male: I love you, but I’m fightin’ myself

Female: I need you, but I can’t get help

Both: Damn… we got love, but not the space

To hold each other through this phase

⸻

Male: Maybe another time…

Female: Maybe another version of us…

Both: Same heart… same pain… same love…

Just not enough right now.
