[Verse 1] I keep trying to explain it plain: Love isn’t a candle with one flame. I can know your laugh by heart, And still care for someone miles apart. Nothing in me gets used up, No one gets a smaller share. If I say your name with tenderness, There’s still more waiting there. [Pre-Chorus] I wish you could feel what I mean: My heart doesn’t work like a dividing line. [Chorus] I can love you, love them too, And not take one thing from you. Every bond can have its own truth; More love doesn’t make less of you. Please don’t turn my kindness into fear— You are precious, you are here. I can love you, love them too, And still be wholly yours in what I do. [Verse 2] You don’t have to compete with a friend, Or wonder if my care will end. Your place is yours because you’re you, Not because I shut the others out. I want a world where we can say “I love you” without a hidden cost. The more I give, the more I learn: A heart can widen, not be lost. [Bridge] No scale, no tally, no shrinking sun— Love keeps growing when it’s shared among us. [Final Chorus] I can love you, love them too, And not take one thing from you. Every bond can have its own truth; More love doesn’t make less of you. You are precious, you are here. You are precious, you are here.
