They keep asking what I’m chasing
Like I owe a clean direction
Every answer feels like lying
When I say it just to end it
I’m not lost, I’m just unsure
There’s a difference no one hears
Some days I need space to think
Not a deadline, not a mirror
I don’t have it figured out
And that’s not a failure yet
I’m still breathing in the pause
Before the answer makes sense
Don’t ask me yet
I don’t have the words to say
Don’t ask me yet
I’m not ready to explain
It’s not that I’ve given up
I just need the time I get
Don’t ask me yet
They talk futures like it’s simple
Pick a lane and don’t look back
But some roads don’t show themselves
Till you stop and let them pass
I’m carrying a quiet weight
That doesn’t move when pushed
Some things grow in silence
When they’re left misunderstood
I don’t have it figured out
And I don’t need to pretend
Every honest step I take
Starts before the answer ends
Don’t ask me yet
I don’t have the words to say
Don’t ask me yet
I’m not ready to explain
It’s not that I’ve given up
I just need the time I get
Don’t ask me yet
I’m not behind
I’m not ahead
Just standing still
Until it fits
