Just the Way You Are - Side A

[Intro] Verse 1 You walk in, no need to explain You calm the noise inside my brain You don’t fix me, don’t pretend You just stay, again and again I bring my doubts, I bring my scars All the things I try to guard You don’t ask me who I was You take me as I am, because Pre-Chorus When I’m weak, you don’t look away When I’m lost, you let me stay Chorus Love is medicine when I’m breaking Love is fire, love is rain It’s the highest mountain I keep climbing And the deepest kind of pain Love is laughing in the sunlight Love is crying in the dark It’s the hope that keeps on breathing When everything falls apart Verse 2 Love is water, love is flame It heals and burns me all the same It pulls me close, then lets me go Teaches me what I don’t know It’s the courage to be seen Every fault, every dream It’s not perfect, never fair But it’s honest, it’s right there Pre-Chorus When I fail, you don’t deny You see the truth behind my eyes Chorus Love is medicine when I’m breaking Love is fire, love is rain It’s the highest mountain I keep climbing And the deepest kind of pain Love is laughter, love is tears It’s the echo of my fears It’s the hope that says “keep going” Even when the end is near Bridge Love is longing, love is grace Waiting patiently for time and space It’s forgiveness, slow and true Learning how to start anew Love is staying when it’s hard No applause, no reward It’s the strength to say “I see you” And the courage to be kind Final Chorus Love is medicine and fire Love is water, love is flame It’s the highest place I reach for And the lowest depth of pain Love is laughter, love is crying Love is hope, love is fear Love is learning to forgive And choosing to stay right here Outro
