You walked in like a quiet flame,
Lit a part of me I thought had changed.
I wear a ring, I made my vow,
But my heart’s breaking all the rules now.
You laugh, and it feels like home,
Even in silence, I’m not alone.
How did you show up in this life—
When I’ve already built mine?

Why only now, when I’m not free?
Why do you feel like the rest of me?
I’m torn in half, can’t let it show—
Loving you is letting go.
I’m drowning in this cruel divide,
One hand holds love, one holds a lie.
How do I choose what’s right to do,
When I’ve found someone too late... and too true?

You see through me like open skies,
No masks, no roles, just real and right.
You speak my soul without a word,
You make me feel alive — and heard.
You don’t try hard, you just exist,
And somehow that’s what I’ve always missed.
Your touch, your truth — it wrecks my peace,
And brings a kind of sweet release.

If you came a little sooner,
If my heart wasn’t already spoken for...
Would we be the kind they write songs for?
Now all I have are dreams of more.

I wish I didn’t feel this way…
But you're the love I met too late.
