**Title: "Worth the Wait"** **Verse 1** I've been hiding in my own skin, Second-guessing where to begin. Every heartbeat said, "Not yet," Every close call filled with regret. Built my walls up brick by brick, Thought I'd never get past it. Every touch felt miles away, So I learned to run instead of stay. **Pre-Chorus** Maybe I'm not broken, Maybe I just needed time. Maybe all this hoping Was leading to tonight. **Chorus** 'Cause when you held me, I didn't fall apart. You made a safe place out of my guarded heart. All of that fear disappeared in your light. Turns out love can feel this right. I was scared of getting close, Scared of letting somebody know. Now I'm dancing in your arms tonight. Turns out... I was worth the wait. **Post-Chorus** (Ooh) You never rushed me. (Ooh) You let me breathe. (Ooh) I found the courage When you believed in me. **Verse 2** Didn't need a perfect line, Didn't need to change my mind. You just saw me as I am, Never asked for more than that. Little moments, little smiles, Closed a distance of a thousand miles. Now the silence feels like home, Funny how I'm not alone. **Pre-Chorus** Maybe all those long nights Were teaching me to trust. Maybe real love doesn't break you. Maybe it builds us. **Chorus** 'Cause when you held me, I didn't fall apart. You made a safe place out of my guarded heart. All of that fear disappeared in your light. Turns out love can feel this right. I was scared of getting close, Scared of letting somebody know. Now I'm dancing in your arms tonight. Turns out... I was worth the wait. **Bridge (breakdown)** If tomorrow comes too fast, Promise we don't race the clock. Love don't need to prove itself When every heartbeat says enough. I don't fear the morning now. I don't fear goodbye. You showed me intimacy Can feel like coming alive. **Final Chorus** When you held me, I came back to life. Every lonely tear became a reason why. I was searching through the dark for a sign. You were there the whole time. No more hiding who I am. No more shaking at your hands. Now I'm dancing in the morning light. Turns out... love was always worth the wait. **Outro** Worth the wait... Worth the wait... I finally found a place that feels like home.
