Lyric

You say you don’t need someone to claim

No labels carved, no vows in flame

So tell me why you stay right here

Spending time you could disappear

Is it comfort, is it gain

Some quiet shelter from the rain?

I hear the truth you never say

I read your heart more every day

It’s not the money, not a prize

It’s fear reflected in your eyes

One chosen heart, one steady name

That kind of closeness feeds the pain

I know your wounds, I know your scars

The nights that left their lasting marks

You care for me, I feel it true

But you don’t know how deep I’m into you

Ten thousand times my heart runs wide

What you hold back, I don’t divide

You’re afraid to choose just one

To stand your ground once love’s begun

Maybe the past still pulls your hand

A shadow you don’t yet command

But every glance, every pause you make

Tells me the risk you’re scared to take

You guard the door, but leave it cracked

Too close to flee, too hurt to act

I won’t demand, I won’t invade

No deadlines set, no debt to pay

I don’t need now, I don’t need fast

I’ll be right here when fear has passed

One day you’ll let the walls come down

No need to run, no need to drown

You’ll take me in, both heart and soul

And we’ll be more than separate roles

I don’t ask when, I don’t ask why

This kind of love outlives time

No pressure

No fear

I’m not leaving

I am yours

When you’re ready
