(Verse 1) I watched you pack the heavy things The shadows left behind The weight of who you used to be And all you couldn't find You said you had to walk away To figure out your heart To heal the places cracked inside Before we make a start (Pre-Chorus) And I know it takes a quiet room To hear your inner voice To learn to love the man you are And know you have a choice So take the road, wash clean the rust And turn the stone to gold (Chorus) I’ll gladly wait forever, if that's what it takes While you clear out the dark and mend every break Go learn how to love yourself, whole and complete So you can hold my heart without fear or defeat Take all of the time that you need to be free I’ll be right here waiting for you and for me (Verse 2) I see you by the river edge In the silence of the dawn Stripping back the armor That you’ve carried for so long It takes a brave man to admit He isn't where he wants to be To step into the quiet fire And set his spirit free (Pre-Chorus) I know you're doing this for us By doing it for you To give us something real and strong Untangled, deep, and true (Chorus) I’ll gladly wait forever, if that's what it takes While you clear out the dark and mend every break Go learn how to love yourself, whole and complete So you can hold my heart without fear or defeat Take all of the time that you need to be free I’ll be right here waiting for you and for me (Bridge) There’s no rush in a love that’s built to last We’re leaving all the ghosts back in the past When you come back to my door, settled and clear There will be no doubts, no shadow of fear Just you, whole and ready, standing in the light (Guitar Solo / String Swell) (Chorus) I’ll gladly wait forever, if that's what it takes While you clear out the dark and mend every break Go learn how to love yourself, whole and complete So you can hold my heart without fear or defeat Take all of the time that you need to be free I’ll be right here waiting for you and for me (Outro) Take your journey, my love Find your peace I’ll be waiting right here On the horizon.
