Fell Along The Way

I told myself to take it slow,

Not let these feelings start to show.

But somewhere in between your smile

And all those late-night talks awhile,

You became the one I wanna call,

The one I wanna tell it all.

And now I'm standing here tonight,

Trying to find the words that feel right.

I know you've said you're not ready,

And I hear every word you say.

I'm not here to change your mind,

There's just something I can't hide away.

I'm not asking you to love me back,

I'm not asking for a promise you can't have.

I don't need you to

be ready,

Don't need you to decide tonight.

I just need you to know what's been on my mind.

Somewhere along the way,

I fell for you,

And now there's nothing I can do To pretend my heart don't

feel this way.

I'm not asking you to stay,

I just couldn't keep this love away.

It's the little things you probably don't see,

The way you make it easy to be me.

How the world gets quiet when you're around,

How you lift me up without making a sound.

You make me laugh when I wanna cry,

Make the hardest days feel alright.

And I don't know what the future holds,

I just know my heart has found a home.

I know you've got your reasons,

And I won't ask you to let them go.

I'm not trying to rush forever,

I just thought that you should know.

Maybe someday you'll feel it too,

Maybe someday I'll be the one you choose.

But I won't make you feel guilty

For not being where I am.

I just hope you understand,

I'm telling you because it's real,

Not because I need you to fix the way I feel.

You don't owe me the words I wanna hear,

I just couldn't keep this locked up in here.

I'm not asking you to love me back,

Or give me something you're not ready to have.

You don't have to make me promises,

You don't have to change your mind.

I just couldn't keep this feeling inside.

Somewhere along the way,

I fell for you,

And I've never felt the way I do.

I don't know where this road will lead,

Or if you'll ever fall for me.

But if there's one thing I hope you take away,

It's that I fell in love with you along the way.

So take your time,

I'll understand, I never meant to rush your plans.

I just needed you to know the truth…

Somewhere along the way,

I fell in love with you.

(I fell for you)
