[Verse 1 – R&B Vocal] I used to think love hit like lightning Fast and wild, no warning, just striking But now I know it moves real slow Like watching flowers in the cold still grow You showed me love ain’t just a fire It’s something quiet, something higher You didn’t rush, didn’t force the flame You just stayed — and I learned your name [Chorus – R&B Vocal] Love takes time, it don’t always show Sometimes it hurts before it helps you grow You gotta break before you find The kind of heart that’s real, not blind We’ve both been scarred, but we still climb And now I know… Love takes time [Verse 2 – R&B Vocal] You held my hand, didn’t pull too tight Let me cry when I needed the night Didn’t ask me to be whole too soon You just sat with my shadows in the room I used to chase love like a race Now I wait, ‘cause you taught me grace It’s not about sparks or falling fast It’s building something that’s built to last [Rap Solo – Mid-Song Break] Yo— Love ain’t a sprint, it’s a slow dance Not just words or a quick glance It’s patience when the days feel long It’s holding on even when it’s gone wrong I’ve been burned by the rush, fooled by the hype Told myself pain was part of the type But you? You different — no mask, no chase You let love breathe, gave it space I used to run from love, now I stand still Learnin’ that time don’t steal, it heals So I’m here, not perfect, but real Takin’ it slow, ‘cause this love gon’ feel [Chorus – R&B Vocal] Love takes time, but that’s okay We’re not in a race, we’re finding our way You’re the calm after all my storms The quiet place where my heart warms We’ve both been scarred, but we still climb And now I know… Love takes time [Bridge – Soft Vocals] Every late night, every tear Built the path that brought me here If it’s real, it waits, it grows Now I see what I didn’t know [Final Chorus – Full Vocal + Ad-libs] Love takes time, it’s not a game It’s a fire that learns your name You gave me space, you gave me light You held me close through every fight And now we’re strong, we’re by design ’Cause you and I know— Love takes time
