Why Now

Room for Us

(Verse 1)

You were there before the chapters changed,

Before the ring and borrowed names.

Distance stole the words I'd never say,

And I watched tomorrow fade away.

You reached for me with open hands,

I let the silence make the plans.

Life moved on while I stood still,

Leaving love behind against my will.

(Pre-Chorus)

I know I left a wound you didn't deserve,

Some hearts don't heal with simple words.

Still every prayer I whisper in the night,

Carries hope into the light.

(Chorus)

If I tell you all the truth one day,

Would you walk... or would you stay?

Is there still a little room for us?

Or did time take all our trust?

If your answer is goodbye,

I'll hold no anger, I won't ask why.

Just promise me you'll chase your dreams,

Shine brighter than you've ever been.

Wherever this life carries me,

I'll still be rooting quietly.

---

(Verse 2)

Sometimes your words feel warm again,

Sometimes they stop where they begin.

Maybe you're guarding what's left inside,

Maybe I'm paying for my pride.

I wonder what your life's become,

Who's been there while I've been gone.

Did someone love you better than I could?

I hope they did... I hope they would.

I can see the question in your eyes,

"Why are you here after all this time?"

The truth is I've been asking too,

If there's still a road that leads to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

If forgiveness finds its way somehow,

Maybe hope can find us now.

Not to erase the yesterday we knew,

But to build tomorrow, something true.

(Chorus)

If I tell you all the truth one day,

Would you walk... or would you stay?

Is there still a little room for us?

Or have the seasons changed too much?

If your answer is goodbye,

I'll hold no anger, I won't ask why.

Just promise me you'll chase your dreams,

Smile the way you're meant to be.

No matter where this life may lead,

You'll always have my quiet belief.

---

(Bridge)

If you ask me, "Why now? Why me?"

I've asked myself the same thing.

Not because I'm afraid to be alone,

But because my heart still calls you home.

I'm not here to rewrite your life,

Or erase the tears I left behind.

I only came with open hands,

Hoping love still understands.

If there's another chance to try,

I'll earn your trust with every stride.

No rushing hearts, no empty vows,

Just honesty from this moment on.

---

(Final Chorus)

If there's still a little room for us,

I'll earn your love, I'll earn your trust.

But if forever says goodbye,

I'll never ask you to change your mind.

Take care of your beautiful heart,

Don't let this world tear it apart.

May every dream you've dreamed come true,

May life be kind in all you do.

And wherever this life carries me,

A part of me will always be...

Quietly cheering...

Quietly praying...

Quietly hoping...

For your happiness.

Even if it isn't with me.

(Outro)

If someday our roads cross again,

I'll simply smile like an old friend.

Because loving you taught me this—

Sometimes love is letting go...

And never letting go of the wish

That you'll always find your happiness.
