YOU MOVE TOO FAST

[Verse 1 – piano, heel dichtbij]
You move too fast
That’s what they said
Like there was something wrong
With how my mind gets ahead

I tried to slow my heartbeat
Tried to shrink my dreams
Tried to fit inside a world
That never fit me

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I laughed it off
Like I always do
Turned every doubt
Into something cool

But every joke was just a shield
So no one saw what I could feel

⸻

[Chorus – open, breekbaar]
I was scared that if I stopped
There’d be nothing left of me
Like the noise inside my chest
Was the only thing that made me breathe

So I kept running through the silence
Kept proving I belong
But what if I was strong
All along?

⸻

[Verse 2 – meer intens]
First time love hit me hard
Didn’t know how to stay
I held it like a lifeline
Then I pushed it away

Said words I didn’t mean
From a heart that feared the fall
I thought control meant safety
Didn’t know it meant a wall

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought if I could win enough
I’d finally feel secure
Didn’t know that being loved
Was never something to earn

⸻

[Chorus – groter, emotioneel]
I was scared that if I stopped
There’d be nothing left of me
Like the noise inside my chest
Was the only thing that made me breathe

So I kept running through the silence
Kept proving I belong
But what if I was strong
All along?

⸻

[Bridge – bijna gesproken]
Now there’s a little voice at night
Calling out my name
And I see myself inside his eyes
Before the doubt, before the shame

And if he ever feels too much
Like the world is moving wrong
I’ll tell him what I’m learning now

You were never moving wrong

You were never too much

You were just becoming strong

⸻

[Final Chorus – stem breekt]
You don’t have to run forever
You don’t have to win it all
You don’t have to prove your value
Just because you learned to fall

You were never behind
Never broken, never off
You were building all that fire

You were strong
All along
