Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Too many hearts are broken
shattering love into cutting shards of emotional glass
But I still cling to my silly childish dream
That there’s someone out there steady and kind
Who will love the funny thoughts of my mind
Who grows roots deep and chooses to stay
Through all the bad days
[Pre-Chorus]
I need a friendship that waits.
I’m not ready for “MORE”
Not yet.
Not until I find someone who can slowly help me build a mountain of trust
Until our walls come down and crumble to dust
[Chorus]
Are you the one who’ll wait when I can’t keep up?
Who’ll hold my hand tight when my courage gives up?
With honest words that mend, loyalty that doesn’t bend
Build a love that’s a shelter where there's no need to pretend
Free us from the armor forged by old pain
Don't tell me you’re the one who’ll stay, who’ll remain.
Show me in actions, in patient gentle ways
[Verse 2]
Can you Listen when life stabs like a knife,
Hold me close when I tremble, or make a mistake?
Be soft when anger storms within?
Laugh through our fights even the ones we can’t win?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I chasing a ghost, a dream out of reach?
Wanting love stitched with compassion, not just speech?
A friend whose touch sets my blood on fire
Makes my body explode in desire
Who walks through my darkness and never tires
[Chorus]
Are you the one who’ll wait when I can’t keep up?
Who’ll hold my hand tight when my courage gives up?
With honest words that mend, loyalty that won’t bend
Build a love that’s a shelter where we don’t have to pretend
Free me from the armor forged by old pain
Don't tell me you’re the one who’ll stay, who’ll remain.
Show me in actions, in patient gentle ways
[Bridge]
I run from others demanding and fast,
from the chance of passion that won’t last
But my bones are tired of the endless routine
Of being chased and never seen.
[Verse 3]
I need a friendship that waits to unlock the door
A soul that stays steady, that asks for nothing more
Patience and kindness, are far better than flowers and diamonds galore
[Outro]
Love me with empathy.
And I’ll want to be yours.
Wait don’t press, let our souls get undressed
Friends first.
Then the body’s thirst.
Let’s build trust before giving ourselves to lust.
I want you inside my soul so deep there are no secrets I can keep.
I want to know your every memory, hope and dream, until you feel completely seen.
