What's Next (The Crossroads Mix)

[Intro]
(Simple, emotional Piano chords)
(Adlib:) I don't think you know.
(Adlib:) Just how deep this goes.
​[Verse 1]
I don't think you fully know how I feel about you.
It's an uncharted sea, and I’m breaking the view.
I'm standing at a crossroads, staring at the text
Holding my breath, needing to know what's next.
I’m stepping on new ground, a path I haven't seen
Trying to figure out exactly what you mean.
Got a fragile map of trust shaking in my hands
Walking through the desert of these shifting sands.
​[Pre-Chorus]
I'm counting every moment, every breath we share.
Lost in the silence of an unspoken prayer.
Can't hide this feeling, yeah, it's breaking through the skin
I'm just trying to find where the truth begins.
​[Chorus - Sweeping & Passionate]
I need to know about us... What's Next?
Are we building a castle or just a wreck?
In this fragile game of love, I’m placing my bet
But I haven't seen the winning numbers yet.
I've been wondering how you feel, watching every move
Just faith, hope, and patience... and something to prove.
​[Verse 2]
You push me to be the very best that I can be.
A better version of the woman inside of me.
So I pray for your peace, and I pray for your soul
Even when I don't have any kind of control.
And even if my faith feels buried in the ground
Like a lost city that is waiting to be found
I'm still gonna pray for you, no matter the cost
'Cause a love like this is too good to be lost.
​[Chorus - Sweeping & Passionate]
I need to know about us... What's Next?
Are we building a castle or just a wreck?
In this fragile game of love, I’m placing my bet
But I haven't seen the winning numbers yet.
I've been wondering how you feel, watching every move
Just faith, hope, and patience... and something to prove.
​[Bridge - Building Up]
But I'm not the first.
And you're not the first.
But I’m giving it a try! (I'm giving it a try!)
I’m reaching for the sky! (Reaching for the sky!)
Even if I stumble, even if I die trying
At least I know my heart wasn't lying!
​[Outro]
(Music softens back to piano)
I kindly wait for you.
'Cause I don't think you know fully.
What I think about you.
(Whispered:) What's next?
(Fade out)
