Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fall asleep with your name in my head
Like every word that you said meant forever instead
You touch my hand and I feel everything
But you pull away like it’s too much to bring

I trace your voice in the back of my mind
Replay the moments you almost were mine
You say you’re scared but I’m not afraid
I’d take your heart even if it’s delayed

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m crazy for holding on
But something about you feels like home

⸻

[Chorus]
I’m still waiting for you
Even when I shouldn’t, I do
Even when you’re unsure
I’m standing here wanting you more

I don’t need perfect or fast
I just don’t want to be your past
If love’s a risk, then I’ll lose—
As long as I’m falling for you

⸻

[Verse 2]
You look at me like you’re trying to decide
If I’m the one or just someone to hide behind
But when you hold me, you hold me too tight
Like you don’t wanna let go that night

I hear your silence louder than words
Still I believe in the things I’ve heard
You say it’s timing, I say it’s real
Why does love have to wait to be felt?

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m foolish for seeing the best
But I see you, not all of the rest

⸻

[Chorus]
I’m still waiting for you
Even when I shouldn’t, I do
Even when you’re unsure
I’m standing here wanting you more

I don’t need perfect or fast
I just don’t want to be your past
If love’s a risk, then I’ll lose—
As long as I’m falling for you

⸻

[Bridge] (soft, emotional)
If I walk away, would you finally chase me?
Or would I just fade like a “maybe”?
I don’t wanna beg, I don’t wanna break
But how much of my heart can I give you to take?

(build)
I’d wait a little longer if you’d just show me
That I’m not the only one hoping

⸻

[Final Chorus] (bigger, emotional)
I’m still waiting for you
Even when it’s breaking me too
Even when I don’t know
If you’ll ever choose me for sure

I don’t need perfect or fast
I just don’t want this to pass
If love’s a risk, then I’ll lose—
As long as I’m falling for you
