[Intro]
The front door closed, the silence stayed
You counted love in days away
Some nights were louder than the rain
You learned to smile through all the pain
[Verse 1]
You watched the world from bedroom walls
Waiting for someone when they’d call
Every message left on read
Still echoes inside your head
Your grandma’s hands could calm the storm
Made broken places feel like home
For a while, the world was kind
Then time kept moving, left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
So you chased every open light
Trying to outrun every lonely night
Looking for a heart to hold
Before the emptiness turned cold
[Chorus]
You spent your whole life asking why
Love kept passing you by
Trying so hard just to be enough
When you already were
You never had to earn a heart
You never had to play the part
The little boy still waiting there
Was always worthy of being cared for
[Verse 2]
Every glass became a place to hide
Every laugh covered what’s inside
Following voices through the crowd
Just to quiet the silence down
Then someone reached without a reason
Held your heart through every season
One small gift, one gentle touch
Showed you love was never much to ask
[Pre-Chorus]
She looked beyond the hurt you wore
Saw the child behind the door
No conditions, no disguise
Just love reflected in her eyes
[Chorus]
You spent your whole life asking why
Love kept passing you by
Trying so hard just to be enough
When you already were
You never had to earn a heart
You never had to play the part
The little boy still waiting there
Was always worthy of being cared for
[Bridge]
If I could find that younger you
Waiting by the window, watching the moon
I’d tell him, “Just hold on a little longer…”
“…Someone will love you for who you are.”
[Final Chorus]
You spent your whole life searching skies
For answers hidden in goodbye
Now every tear can finally rest
Inside a heart that loves you best
You never had to earn this love
It was always yours enough
No more running, no more fear
You’ve finally found your home right here
[Outro]
Some hearts wait longer than the rest…
But yours was never hard to love.
