Verse 1
I remember begging for your time
Like love was something I had to earn
You’d leave my texts hanging all night long
Then wonder why my heart would burn
You made forever sound like work
Like showing up was asking too much
Funny how I blamed myself back then
For wanting simple things like love
Pre-Chorus
I thought maybe I was asking for the moon
Turns out I was just asking the wrong man
Chorus
‘Cause he calls when he says he will
Shows up without being told
Makes me feel like I’m the only girl
Even standing in a crowded room
He listens when I talk
Remembers little things
And the craziest part of all
He doesn’t think he’s doing anything
Everything you couldn’t bother trying to be
Comes naturally to him
He isn’t trying to win me over
He just is
Verse 2
You used to roll your eyes at dreams
Like they were childish fantasies
Now there’s somebody beside me
Helping build them brick by brick
He opens doors without thinking
Holds my hand without a reason
Makes me laugh until I cry
In the middle of ordinary evenings
Pre-Chorus
And every standard you said was too high
Turns out was just basic love all along
Chorus
‘Cause he calls when he says he will
Shows up without being told
Makes me feel like I’m the only girl
Even standing in a crowded room
He listens when I talk
Remembers little things
And the craziest part of all
He doesn’t think he’s doing anything
Everything you couldn’t bother trying to be
Comes naturally to him
He isn’t trying to win me over
He just is
Bridge
This ain’t about revenge
Or rubbing salt into old scars
I just finally learned the difference
Between a boy and a man
One made me question my worth
One reminds me every day
And he does it so effortlessly
He doesn’t even know your name
Final Chorus
He calls when he says he will
Shows up without being told
Makes me feel safe, makes me feel seen
Makes loving look easy somehow
And every excuse you ever gave
Falls apart when compared to him
Because everything you said was hard
Fits him like second skin
No grand speeches, no big plans
No promises written in the stars
He’s everything you couldn’t be
Not because he tried harder
Because he simply is.
