[Verse 1] I learn the angle of your eyes Before I tell you what I want I make a bright thing of myself Then wait to see if you respond One more laugh, one more yes One more reason I can stay I keep collecting little proofs That I am wanted for a day [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain, say it again I turn a sentence into medicine But every sweet approval fades And I’m back asking you to say— [Chorus] Love me loud, love me now Tell me I’m the one you choose I keep trying to be everything So there’s nothing left to lose Love me loud, don’t look away I need your heart to certify That I am more than what I give When I’m afraid you’ll pass me by [Verse 2] I watch your face for any change And change myself before you speak I turn my wants to easy jokes Then call the silence something deep [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain, say it again I turn a sentence into medicine [Chorus] Love me loud, love me now Tell me I’m the one you choose I keep trying to be everything So there’s nothing left to lose [Bridge] If I stop performing, will you stay? If I’m not dazzling, will you see? I want to want you without needing Your affection to make me me [Final Chorus] Love me loud, love me now I’m tired of begging to be chosen I can want your heart and still be here When every answer isn’t spoken
