I Don’t Want to Rush (Chances Are)

You say let’s take it slow, no labels on the line Say timing’s everything, but you keep taking mine You like the way it feels when I’m right by your side But freeze up every time commitment walks inside You say you’ve been hurt, you’re healing, finding peace But you show up when it’s convenient, disappear when it’s deep You hold my hand in private, not in the light You want the comfort of love without the weight of the fight Pre-Chorus You don’t wanna rush But you don’t wanna lose You don’t wanna choose You don’t wanna be held accountable for the truth Chorus Chances are when you say “I don’t wanna rush” You want the closeness, not the cost of trust You want the benefits without responsibility All the access, none of the accountability Chances are it’s not about time It’s about keeping options on your side You don’t wanna lead You don’t wanna leave You just don’t wanna fully choose me Verse 2 You like the support when your day goes wrong Like knowing someone’s there when the nights get long But when it’s time to stand firm, define the lane You call it pressure, but it’s really just clarity you can’t maintain You say “why rush something that feels this good?” But love that avoids direction never grows like it should Consistency isn’t rushing, it’s showing intent If you wanted to build, you’d know where this went Pre-Chorus You don’t wanna rush But you don’t wanna invest You don’t wanna fail So you don’t give your best Chorus Chances are when you say “I don’t wanna rush” You want emotional access without growing up You want connection without commitment tied to it All the perks of love, none of the ownership Chances are it’s not fear of time It’s fear of being clear and standing in line You don’t wanna decide So you let time decide While I wait on the edge of your maybe Bridge I’m not asking for forever tonight I’m asking for honesty in real time If you don’t know, just say you don’t Don’t use patience as a place to hide I won’t confuse hesitation with depth Or breadcrumbs with progress or silence with rest Love doesn’t stall where it’s meant to go It moves with intention, even slow Final Chorus So chances are when you say “I don’t wanna rush” You want comfort without courage, love without trust You want the feeling, not the follow-through You want me close, but not chosen by you And chances are… I deserve clarity, not convenience Direction, not delay Presence, not half-stay Outro So if “no rush” means no responsibility I’ll choose myself and my stability Because love that’s real doesn’t hesitate to stand It knows what it wants And it reaches with its hand Remember You Are Extraordinary
