Verse 1:
I’ve been running from myself, you see
Caught up in a game I can’t believe
Your eyes whisper secrets to my heart
But I can’t promise I won’t fall apart
Chorus:
So don’t wait for me, don’t wait for me
I’m still finding who I need to be
In the shadows where I roam
It’s hard to find my way back home
Verse 2:
We painted dreams on the walls of night
But I fear my dreams are out of sight
Your hands hold warmth that pulls me in
But I’m scared of where this love might begin
Chorus:
So don’t wait for me, don’t wait for me
I’m still searching for my clarity
In the echoes of a distant plea
I’m lost in the space between you and me
Bridge:
The clock keeps ticking, but time feels still
As I navigate this heart to fill
You deserve someone who won’t run
But I’m just a girl who’s come undone
Chorus:
So don’t wait for me, don’t wait for me
I’m still repairing all my shattered dreams
In the quiet where I grieve
I can’t always be the one you need
Outro:
So don’t wait for me, just set me free
I’ll find my way, just let me be
Through the storm and through the rain
I’ll learn to love without the pain
