For Once, I Didn’t Ruin

(Verse 1)
You reached for my hand in the quiet café
And I didn’t knock over the vase this time
You looked in my eyes like you wanted to stay
And I didn’t say something dumb in rhyme

(Verse 2)
You laughed at my stories, I kept them all brief
Didn’t mention my ex or conspiracy grief
We walked through the park, and I didn’t trip once
I didn’t do weird impersonations,
or mention a Seinfeld clip

(Chorus)
You didn’t flinch, and I didn’t stall
You leaned in close, and I didn’t drop the ball
For once in my life, the stars aligned just right
You smiled like the world was new
And for once, I didn’t ruin it.

(Verse 3)
I’ve messed up before—said too much, or too soon
Made jokes at the moon, misread the room
But tonight, I was calm, like I knew what to do
You reached for my heart, and I let you through

(Bridge)
Is this what it’s like, when the chaos stills?
When I don’t sabotage what I actually feel?
A moment untouched, like the pause in a song
And I held it, I kept it—I didn’t get it wrong

(Final Chorus)
You didn’t leave, and I didn’t freeze
You laughed like the wind rustling in the trees
For once in my life, I didn’t chase or run
You looked at me like I was enough
And for once, I did’t ruin it.

(Outro)
You reached for my hand in the quiet café
You looked in my eyes like you wanted to stay
But tonight, I was calm, like I knew what to do
You reached for my heart, and I let you through
