Finding My Way

Verse 1

I’m not ready to begin again

Been here before, I know the end

Every promise starts the same way

Then quietly turns into pain

I’ve learned how hope can break fast

How trust can slowly slip away at last

So if I hesitate tonight, pause for breath

It’s not you I fear, it’s what I survived

Alone with memories

Chorus

I won’t rush into love again

I’m scared the story won’t change

Maybe one day I’ll love someone

But I need time to breathe first today

Don’t ask me for more than I can give

I’m afraid I’ll fail your expectations

I don’t want to lose myself

Trying to be what you need

Verse 2

I still believe in something real

I just don’t know how safe it feels

Every step feels unsure

Every heart needs time to heal and restore

Not ready to promise light, not tonight

Still learning how to stand and to fight

If I walk slower than you want to see

Please try, please try to understand me

Still I hope

Chorus

I won’t rush into love again

I’m scared the past will repeat

Maybe one day I’ll open up

But not before I’m ready to meet

Don’t build your dreams around my name

I might not be where you want me

I don’t want to hurt you

By pretending I’m okay, not today

Bridge

This isn’t me giving up on love

It’s me choosing honesty

I’d rather wait in truth

Than lie about who I can be

Calm in the quiet, waiting for light, waiting for me

Final Chorus

I won’t start again too soon

I’m still finding my way

Maybe I’ll love again someday

Just not today, not today

If you stay, please walk beside me

Not ahead of what I am

I’m not closing the door on love

I just need time

Before I can

Outro

So if I take my time, slow steps

Please don’t take it wrong

I’m not afraid of loving you

I’m just afraid

Of losing myself again
