You said it calm, like it’s honesty Like I should nod and wait patiently “I’m just focusing on me these days” Sounds mature, sounds safe to say But I’ve been listening past the tone Reading the pauses, feeling what’s unsaid shown ‘Cause timing has a way of telling truth When words are dressed in something smooth Pre-Chorus You didn’t say goodbye But you didn’t say stay You left the door cracked Just enough for me to stay afraid ⸻ Chorus Chances are What you’re really saying is “I don’t know if you’re the one” Chances are You’re keeping options open While I’m choosing only one You say it’s growth, you say it’s space But I’m standing still in the same place Chances are You’re working on yourself While deciding if I fit in your future plans ⸻ Verse 2 I don’t doubt healing is a real thing But clarity shouldn’t feel this confusing If I mattered the way you imply There wouldn’t be this question mark between your lines I don’t want a maybe-love Or a “not now” disguised as trust I need more than emotional delay I need someone who’s ready to say Pre-Chorus You didn’t lie But you didn’t lead You held your truth Just far enough from me ⸻ Chorus Chances are What you’re really saying is “I haven’t chosen you yet” Chances are You like the comfort I bring But not the commitment step You say you’re finding who you are While I’m waiting in the dark Chances are You’re working on yourself And I’m deciding if waiting costs my heart ⸻ Bridge And maybe that’s not wrong But it is honest now To say I deserve someone Who knows instead of doubts Healing doesn’t require confusion Love doesn’t ask for suspension If I have to guess where I stand Then chances are—I already understand ⸻ Final Chorus Chances are I need to choose myself too Not from fear, but from truth Chances are If it’s unclear today It won’t magically change soon So I bless your journey, your becoming But I won’t pause my life while you’re deciding Chances are The lesson wasn’t rejection It was self-respect finally speaking ⸻ Outro Chances are When someone says they’re working on themselves They’re really saying “I haven’t chosen you yet” And that’s my cue To choose me Remember You Are Extraordinary
