LET ME HEAL
(Intro – Whisper → Massive Choir Builds)
(Soft whisper)
Yemisi Komolafe...
Mm... yeah...
No rush... no pressure...
Just let me heal...
(Massive choir rises)
Ohhh... ohhh...
Heal me... heal me...
Ohhh... ohhh...
Let me heal... let me heal...

(Verse 1)
Don't love me yet, I still dey carry pain,
Smile for my face but my heart still get rain.
I see forever anytime you look my way,
But these old scars still dey beg me make I stay.
If I let you in before my soul is free,
You go fight battles wey no belong to me.
I no fit give you the love wey you deserve,
When my own heart still dey shake with every word.
---
(Pre-Chorus)
You deserve a love wey soft like morning light,
Not somebody still dey wrestle every night.
I no wan turn your sunshine into storm,
Or make your gentle heart forget its form.
---
(Chorus)
Don't love me yet... let me heal first.
I no wan make my pain become your curse.
I see the love inside your eyes, it's true,
But I no wan bleed all over you.
Hold my hand from a little distance,
Pray for me with a little patience.
If love na forever, you fit wait,
I no wan become your worst mistake.
---
(Verse 2)
I'm a lover wounded by the knives of yesterday,
Every broken promise still dey echo where I stay.
I no dey fear love, I dey fear the man I be,
When the ghosts inside my mind refuse to set me free.
You deserve laughter without hidden tears,
Not the weight I've carried all these years.
So if I step away, no be because I don't care,
Na because I want to meet you whole when I get there.
---
(Bridge)
Broken people fit heal, I believe.
Even wounded hearts still fit breathe.
I choose peace before another war,
I choose healing before opening my door.
Let's not bring more toxicity to this world.
Let's not create another broken soul.
Love should build, not destroy.
Love should heal, not leave holes.
---
(Final Chorus – Choir Joins)
Don't love me yet... just believe in me.
One day these chains go finally set me free.
When I return, I go love you completely,
No fear, no shadows living inside me.
Till that day, let me find my light,
Fight these demons one more night.
If our story truly meant to be,
You'll meet the healed version of me.
(Massive choir)
Heal me... heal me...
Ohhh... ohhh...
Don't love me yet...
Let me heal...

(Outro – Whisper + Huge Choir)
(Whisper)
Yemisi Komolafe...
(Massive cinematic choir)
Ohhhhh...
Let me heal...
Ohhhhh...
Don't love me yet...
Heal me... heal me...
'Cause when I finally love you...
I want it to feel like home.
