Intro / Hook
He was to me what I was to them
A quiet heart waiting again and again
I was hoping someone finally would see
While someone else was hoping for me
Verse 1
I remember staring at a silent phone
Trying not to wonder why I felt alone
Reading every message like a hidden sign
Hoping maybe someday they'd say you’re mine
I gave my heart in quiet ways
Soft hellos and hopeful days
Standing there where love had been
Waiting for them to let me in
Pre-Chorus
I was patient
I was kind
Hoping someday I'd cross their mind
Chorus
He was to me what I was to them
A quiet heart waiting again and again
I was chasing love that never came through
While all along I was walking past you
I waited on someone who couldn’t see
While someone else never gave up on me
Funny how love comes back in the end
He was to me what I was to them
Verse 2
He was standing just a step behind
Never pushing, never crossing lines
A steady light I didn’t understand
A hopeful heart with an open hand
While I chased shadows in the dark
He was guarding his quiet spark
Never loud, never demanding
Just quietly there, understanding
Pre-Chorus
He was patient
He was kind
Waiting for me to change my mind
Chorus
He was to me what I was to them
A quiet heart waiting again and again
I was chasing love that never came through
While all along I was walking past you
I waited on someone who couldn’t see
While someone else never gave up on me
Funny how love comes back in the end
He was to me what I was to them
Bridge
Then one day in the quiet between
I saw something I hadn’t seen
All those moments, all that time
You were standing right by my side
All the patience, all that grace
The steady love I couldn’t replace
Final Chorus
You were to me what I was to them
A quiet heart waiting again and again
I was hoping someone finally would see
But you were the one meant for me
You waited through sunshine, waited through rain
Loving me softly through all of my pain
Funny how love circles back in the end
You were to me what I was to them
Outro / Hook
He was to me what I was to them
A quiet heart waiting again and again
I was hoping someone finally would see
And all along you were waiting for me
