Gatekeeper You asked me, "Tell me what you're hiding." I looked away, Searching for the words. You heard silence, I heard questions. Some things take a little time Before they learn to breathe. You wanted answers I couldn't fake. I'd rather lose you Than lie to your face. You call me a gatekeeper, Like I'm hiding all the keys. But the hardest door to open Has always been me. You call it keeping secrets, I call it growing slow. Some truths aren't waiting... They're still learning where to go. Every song I ever wrote Carried pieces of my soul. Some were born from you, Some were born before. You heard your name Between the lines. I heard a thousand moments Trying to become one life. Maybe we were speaking Different kinds of truth. You wanted certainty... I was searching for it too. You call me a gatekeeper, Like I'm hiding all the keys. But the hardest door to open Has always been me. You call it keeping secrets, I call it growing slow. Some truths aren't waiting... They're still learning where to go. If I knew the ending, I'd have told you from the start. If I knew my future, I'd have handed you my heart. But every mirror Shows a different man. I'm still trying To understand. Maybe honesty Isn't knowing everything. Maybe honesty Is saying... "I don't know." You call me a gatekeeper, But I never locked the door. I was standing in the hallway, Trying to find something more. If one day I find the answers, You'll know they're finally true. Not because you asked me... Because I found them too.
