If it’s me

You say my name like it means something more

Like I’m not just standing outside of your door

You pull me close, say you feel it too

But you still don’t move like I need you to

You kiss me slow like you’re scared it’s real

Like giving your heart’s not a deal you can seal

I try to be patient, I try to be light

But I’m losing sleep almost every night

⸻

You say you’re healing, I say I understand

But where do I fall in your plans?

⸻

If it’s me, then why am I waiting?

Why does loving you feel like I’m chasing?

You say I’m different, don’t treat me the same

But I’m still stuck playing this game

I don’t wanna be something you might choose

Or someone you’re scared to lose

I just wanna know where I stand

If it’s me… then take my hand

⸻

You let me in just enough to believe

Then something shifts and you pull back from me

There’s always a reason, always a wall

Something that keeps you from giving it all

I hear it in things that you don’t say

In the space that you slowly create

And I hate that I notice it all

Every little rise and fall

⸻

You say “don’t rush it,” I try to be still

But loving you’s not something I can chill

⸻

If it’s me, then why am I waiting?

Why does loving you feel like I’m chasing?

You say I’m different, don’t treat me the same

But I’m still stuck playing this game

I don’t wanna be something you might choose

Or someone you’re scared to lose

I just wanna know where I stand

If it’s me… then take my hand

⸻

[Bridge] (soft → build)

I see it in you when you look at me

Like you feel something you won’t let be

Like you’re one step from giving in

But you’re holding back where it should begin

(build)

I’d wait for you if I knew you’d stay

But how long do I give my heart away?

I don’t wanna lose myself in this

Just hoping one day you’ll commit
