wasn't looking

*

*[Verse 1]*

I wasn't looking for anyone

I was good at being alone

Built these walls brick by brick

Learned to call an empty house a home

I had my life all mapped out

Every prayer was about everything but you

And then you laughed in a crowded room

And suddenly my map wasn't true

*[Pre-Chorus]*

I wasn't ready,

I was broken in all the quiet places

****

But you found me when I wasn't looking

When my heart had stopped believing

In the middle of my becoming

You walked in without a reason

And you didn't fix me, you just stayed

Till the hurting wasn't hurting the same

God knows I wasn't looking

But love found me anyway[Chorus]

*[Verse 2]*

You saw me, not the picture

Not the strong one I pretend to be

You saw the 2 AM thoughts

And you said "that's still beautiful to me"

We didn't rush, we grew

Like a garden after rain

You held my past so gently

Like it was never something to be ashamed of

*[Chorus 2 - bigger]*

And you found me when I wasn't looking

When I thought love was for other people

You taught my hands how to hold something

Without holding so tight it leaves

We blossomed out of nothing

Out of coffee talks and late night drives

Out of "are you okay?" and "I'm on my way"

Out of choosing each other every time

*[Bridge - the cry part]*

And now I look at us...

Two people who almost missed this

Two strangers who could've kept walking

But something - something kept us

If I had left one minute earlier

If you hadn't looked up that day

I wouldn't have this life, this love

I wouldn't have this beating heart in my hands

So thank you for the timing I didn't plan

For being late and being there

For loving me at my most unexpected

For loving me when I wasn't even there

*[Soft Final Chorus - strip it down to just piano + voice]*

You found me when I wasn't looking

And now I can't look away

Every morning I wake up and choose you

In the most ordinary, holy way

We are a flourishing, we are a becoming

We are proof that love still stays

I wasn't looking for a forever

But forever found me anyway

Yeah, forever found me anyway...

In your eyes.

In our life.

When I wasn't looking.
