[Verse 1] You keep your coat on in the kitchen Though the radiator ticks and sings I warm the cup between my palms And ask about the ordinary things You tell me what the doctor said I let the silence have its say Then I tuck your scarf back in your sleeve Like there is nowhere else to be today [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a reason I don't need you bright I can sit beside you Till your hands unclench tonight [Chorus] I love to make you feel loved In the small ways that hold A chair pulled close, your name said gently A hand to keep you warm I love to make you feel loved When the words won't come You don't have to earn a place here You already belong [Verse 2] I save the last slice of the orange You like the sweet part near the peel I remember which old stories make you laugh And which ones still don't feel quite real If your day comes loose at every seam I'll gather what I can and stay No fixing you, no hurried answer Just a little room to breathe today [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a reason I don't need you bright I can sit beside you Till your hands unclench tonight [Chorus] I love to make you feel loved In the small ways that hold A chair pulled close, your name said gently A hand to keep you warm I love to make you feel loved When the words won't come You don't have to earn a place here You already belong [Bridge] When you forget your own reflection Borrow mine until it clears I will name the good I see in you As many times as it takes to hear [Final Chorus] I love to make you feel loved In the small ways that hold A chair pulled close, your name said gently A hand to keep you warm I love to make you feel loved When the words won't come You don't have to earn a place here You already belong [Outro] You already belong Stay as long as you want
