Yeah
Late nights, heavy thoughts, had to sit with it
Said I loved you, but my actions wasn’t intimate
Talked in circles, dodged pain, I was ignorant
Now I’m standin’ ten toes, tryna live with it
Silence loud, yeah, it echoed in the room
Thought I had time, didn’t know I was losin’ you
Ego big, heart guarded, I was movin’ rude
Now I’m breakin’ down walls, tellin’ all the truth
I was defensive when you only needed clarity
Confused your vulnerability for a threat to me
I see now love ain’t control or authority
It’s consistency, patience, and accountability
Had to unlearn pride, had to relearn trust
Had to face my reflection when the mirror cussed
If I say I’m down, I gotta show it in us
Not just when it’s easy, but when times get rough
I won’t let the love fade, nah, not this time
Had to slow my pace, get my head right
I’m investin’ in you, not just lines I say
Invest in you cause I wanna see you elevate
Used to think patience meant I ain’t gotta speak
Didn’t know that my quiet was weakenin’ we
I been learnin’ accountability ain’t defeat
It’s a man lookin’ in the mirror, acceptin’ he weak
I ain’t here for the moment, I’m here for the long
If you need space, I’ll respect it, still right or wrong
I’m not perfect, but I’m present, I’m adjustin’ my tone
Tryna build somethin’ solid, not another sad song
I know my past made it harder to believe
When I say I’m changin’, I see you hesitate with me
But growth ain’t loud, it’s showin’ up repeatedly
It’s consistency speakin’ louder than apologies
If you let me lead, I’ll do it with care
Not ego-driven, not fear-based, I swear
I’m learnin’ love ain’t pressure or repair
It’s two people growin’ and meetin’ each other there
I won’t let the love fade, nah, not this time
Had to slow my pace, get my head right
I’m investin’ in you, not just lines I say
Invest in you cause I wanna see you elevate
If I broke your trust, yeah, I know that’s real
I ain’t rushin’ your heal, take time, I’ll chill
Growth hurt, but I’m here for the feel
Every step forward, I’m showin’ what I feel
Look…
I ain’t got all the answers, but I got my heart in it
I’m sorry baby… come here gimmie a hug.
