[Verse 1] My heart's afraid to take another chance, To call it fate when it's just circumstance. I'm reaching for a future I can't see, Wondering if there's room for me. I don't need diamonds, I don't need a crown, Just somewhere safe when the world breaks down. A quiet kind of love, a place to breathe, A heart that wants the same things as me. [Pre-Chorus] But lately, I've been feeling the weight Of waiting on a love that won't name its fate. I'm running out of reasons to pretend That all this doubt will somehow end. [Chorus] Don't let me love an illusion, Don't make my hope another confusion. If I'm your future, then let me know, Don't hold my heart if you're letting me go. I need a love that knows where it stands, Not empty words slipping through my hands. If I am home, then open the door; If I'm not, don't keep me wanting more. [Verse 2] Maybe the timing has never been right, Maybe we're chasing a fading light. And every time I try to believe, There's another reason for me to leave. I'm tired of guessing what we could be, Of losing myself in uncertainty. I want a love that doesn't disappear Whenever the truth gets too close to hear. [Bridge — Emotional Vocal Rise] Say it plainly, let the silence break, I can survive the truth, whatever it takes. I'll cry if I must, but I'll still move on, Even if the dream I've held is gone. I won't spend forever outside your heart, Begging for a place or a brand-new start. If love is real, it won't leave me blind; It won't ask me to abandon my peace of mind. [Final Chorus] Don't let me love an illusion, Don't dress up doubt as a love worth choosing. If I'm your future, then let it show, Give me a reason to stay and grow. I need a love that knows where it stands, A steady heart, not shifting sands. If I am home, then open the door; If I'm not, I'll find my own shore. [Outro — Soft, Breathless] No more illusions, no more maybe, No more loving what love won't give me. I'll find my peace, wherever I go— Just don't let me love what I'll never know.
