“I Don’t Want To Rush-Chances Are

You say slow down, take our time Like patience is the virtue on the line “I don’t wanna rush this thing” You say it soft, like it’s wisdom But I’ve been here long enough to know When caution starts to feel like control If it was fear of losing me You’d be moving closer, not cautiously Pre-Chorus You like the closeness, late-night calls But not the weight that commitment costs You enjoy the benefit of my heart Without deciding what your intentions are Chorus Chances are When you say you don’t want to rush What you really mean is You don’t want responsibility or trust Chances are You want connection without the name The comfort without the weight The pleasure without the change You say let’s see where it goes But chances are You just don’t want to be held accountable Verse 2 I’m not asking for forever tonight Just honesty in the daylight If I matter the way you say There wouldn’t be so much delay I don’t need pressure, I need direction I don’t need speed, I need intention If clarity feels like a threat Then chances are—you’re not ready yet Pre-Chorus You want my presence, my energy But freedom from responsibility You call it pacing, call it growth But I’m the one doing the emotional load Chorus Chances are When you say you don’t want to rush What you really mean is You don’t want responsibility or trust Chances are You like how this feels right now But not enough to stand ten toes down You say let’s keep it light and free But chances are You don’t want the weight that comes with me Bridge And maybe you’re not wrong For wanting space to decide But I’m not wrong For needing clarity in my life Love doesn’t panic at definition Readiness doesn’t fear decision If “rushing” just means being real Then chances are—you’re avoiding the deal Final Chorus Chances are I don’t need to slow my heart I need to stop shrinking it for where you are Chances are If responsibility scares you away You were never ready anyway So I release the waiting I choose alignment over delay Chances are Self-respect is finally having its say Outro Chances are When someone says “I don’t want to rush” They’re saying “I don’t want responsibility right now” And that clarity Is my freedom Remember You Are Extraordinary
