Lyrics

Chasing His Potential
©Schantell Wharton
(Verse 1)
Saw a diamond in the rough, a spark beneath the dust
Thought with a little love enough, he'd blossom, filled with trust
His song was off, a jumbled sound
But blindly, I chased a love unfound

(Chorus)
So I married him, chasing his potential, a rhythm for his soul
Thought gentle words, love's gentle rain, would make him whole
But love's not a song you rewrite, with verses rearranged
He stayed the same, a distant flame, he saw no need to change
Let his heart unfold and grow, love him as the man you know
Stop Chasing His Potential, Stop Chasing His Potential
Love him for the man he'll show

(Verse 2)
Years turned pages, seasons blurred, our melody grew dim
His silence, a heavy word, a love song turned to grim
My songs of joy, a sunlit sky, met only with a hollow sigh
The spark I saw, so bright and bold, turned to stone, my love turned cold

(Chorus)
'Cause I chased him, his potential, a rhythm for his soul
Thought gentle words could ease the pain, and make him whole
But love's not a song you rewrite, with verses rearranged
He stayed the same, a winter's game, he saw no need to change
Let his heart unfold and grow, love him as the man you know.
Stop Chasing His Potential, Stop Chasing His Potential,
Love him for the man he'll show

Bridge:
In the mirror of her eyes, she saw the girl she used to be,
The one who loved so fiercely, thinking love could set them free
But sometimes hearts are broken, not by what we lack
But by holding onto promises that never give back

(Chorus)
'Cause I chased him, his potential, a rhythm for his soul
Thought gentle words could ease the pain, and make him whole
But love's not a song you rewrite, with verses rearranged
He stayed the same, a haunting refrain, he saw no need to change
Let his heart unfold and grow, love him as the man you know
Stop Chasing His Potential, Stop Chasing His Potential
Love him for the man he'll show

(Outro)
Chasing his potential, mold his heart with love
Believed in his future, sent from up above
