Heaven Couldn’t Wait Verse 1 The mirror learned my silhouette Before I learned my own. Every room still holds my echo Long after I have gone. They tell me healing’s quiet— Then why’s it screaming through the walls? I built a home inside the silence, Now silence knows my call. Pre-Chorus Some days I just don’t wanna wake up. Not because I don’t believe in dawn— I’m just so tired Of carrying a heartbeat That keeps forgetting how to belong. Chorus Heaven couldn’t wait. Heaven couldn’t wait. So why am I still standing With both feet in the rain? If mercy has a doorway, Why won’t it remember my face? The cemetery’s closed today… Is there another road to grace? Heaven couldn’t wait— So why does it feel Like heaven couldn’t wait for me? Verse 2 I folded all my younger selves Like letters never sent. Every dream still smells like smoke, Every prayer tastes permanent. The flowers keep on blooming Where nobody says my name. Funny how the earth remembers Everything we couldn’t save. Pre-Chorus Some days I just don’t wanna wake up. The weight has learned the shape of me. But somewhere underneath the rubble, Something still refuses To leave. Bridge If I disappeared tomorrow, Would the wind still know my face? Would my mother’s kitchen miss me? Would my father save my place? If love is measured By the ghosts we leave behind, Maybe I’m more alive Than this tired heart can recognize. Final Chorus Heaven couldn’t wait. Heaven couldn’t wait. Every broken hallelujah Still echoes through my veins. If mercy has a doorway, Why won’t it remember my face? The cemetery’s closed today… Is there another road to grace? If hope is just a match Still hiding from the rain— Leave it burning. Leave it burning. ‘Cause heaven couldn’t wait… Maybe it’s teaching me To wait — For myself…
