You were always worth waiting for
And I waited a long time for you
I always felt there was something missing
But what it was, I never knew
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
I waited for you through sorrow
I waited for you through fear
Sometimes I was scared of missing out
Afraid you'd show up while I'm not here
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I worried I wouldn't be perfect
That I wouldn't be fully healed
Worried you might see parts of me
I kept hidden behind a shield
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
While that shield protected me
It prevented me from fully letting go
But you are worth growing for
I'm blessed you're someone I get to know
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
And you've always been worth waiting for
In every sense of those words
I loved you from the very first kick
From the first cry I ever heard
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
You make me second guess everything
I can't run. I've stopped in my tracks
You make me analyze everything
Make me realize all I lack
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
You make me better
Make me stronger than I thought
For you, there's nothing I wouldn't do
No battle will ever go un-fought
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
You've protected me all this time
Kept my heart safe inside of yours
Never stood up for myself
But for you, I'd fight in wars
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I'd wait for you hopefully
No matter where you are
I'd wait a million years
I'd count each individual star
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
The first time I saw each smile
It was like hearing, "I'm sorry I was late"
But if the prize is being your mother
You three are always worth the wait
