[Verse 1]
I know you don’t say much these days
You’ve got that quiet way of walking away
Like if you stay too long, you’ll break
So you keep your distance just to feel safe
But I’ve seen the light behind your fear
The girl who wants to be held, but disappears
And I still remember your real laugh
The one that came out when you forgot the past
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not heartless, you’re just tired
Of chasing love that turns to fire
But baby, not every flame will burn
Some are meant to help you learn
[Chorus]
When you’re ready to stop running
When the weight’s too much to hide
When the world feels cold and nothing
Feels like it fits right inside
You don’t have to say a word
I’ll know by the way you breathe
I’ll be right here — no rush, no chains
Just love, when you’re ready for me
[Verse 2]
I don’t need promises you can’t keep
I just need truth when your soul can speak
Even in silence, I still hear
The version of you that wishes I was near
You act like your softness is a flaw
Like love makes you weak, but I know it’s raw
It’s real, it’s rare, and I swear I see
The beauty in the mess you don’t let them see
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t owe me some perfect path
Just a moment where you take off the mask
And if all you have is one deep breath
I’ll take it, if it’s all that’s left
[Chorus]
When you’re ready to stop running
When the weight’s too much to hide
When the world feels cold and nothing
Feels like it fits right inside
You don’t have to say a word
I’ll know by the way you breathe
I’ll be right here — no rush, no chains
Just love, when you’re ready for me
[Bridge]
I’m not here to fix you
I just want to love what’s real
Even the parts you flinch from
Even the wounds you won’t let heal
And if it takes forever
Or just one honest night
I’ll be the quiet voice that says,
“It’s okay to try.”
[Final Chorus]
When you’re ready to stop hiding
When your heart wants something true
When the old life starts unwinding
And the mirror finally shows you you
You won’t have to search or guess
Where love was meant to be
I’ll still be here — arms wide, soul open
When you’re ready for me
Yazy
