I do not chase confusion I do not bargain with doubt I do not build my life around Someone halfway in, halfway out I know what I bring I know what I need I can love with an open heart And still know when to leave [Verse 1] I have walked through fire I have carried my share I have learned that love is not love When it keeps my peace on trial I do not read the silence I do not beg for signs If the door is always closing I stop standing in the line [Pre-Chorus] I can be patient I can be kind But I will not lose myself Trying to change your mind [Chorus] I stand clear I stand strong I know where I belong I give love I give truth But I will not bleed for proof I make space I bring calm But I will not shrink to keep you warm Love is steady Love is real Love is not a wound I have to heal [hook] No more guessing No more waiting No more losing me [Verse 2] I will not punish distance I will not force the pace But I know the difference Between space and a hiding place I can hold a heart Without holding it down I can give love freedom Without losing my ground If you meet me, meet me fully If you choose me, choose me straight I am not here for half-love And I am not here to wait [Pre-Chorus] I can listen I can stay But I will not carry love That keeps walking away [Chorus] I stand clear I stand strong I know where I belong I give love I give truth But I will not bleed for proof I make space I bring calm But I will not shrink to keep you warm Love is steady Love is real Love is not a wound I have to heal [hook] No more guessing No more waiting No more losing me [Bridge] Secure is not weakness Secure is not need Secure is knowing What I will and will not feed I do not control I do not plead I do not make a prison Out of what should be free I choose respect I choose peace I choose the one Who chooses me [Final Chorus] I stand clear I stay calm I do not chase what feels wrong I give love I give truth But I will not bleed for proof I build safety I bring light I protect my peace And I sleep well at night Love is steady Love is real Love is not a wound I have to heal [Outro] No more chasing No more doubt No more breaking myself To keep someone around I stand clear I stand free What is meant for me Will meet me honestly
