I love You

[Verse 1] I know I don’t always make it easy I turn away when feelings rise I make a joke when I get nervous Then hide the truth behind my eyes But you read me without trying Like you’ve known me all my life You don’t rush the locked up places You sit with me till I’m alright [Pre-Chorus] And I know you know But I’ll say it slow Cause you asked me like it mattered [Chorus] I love you One more time In the dark In the morning light I love you When I’m scared When I act like I don’t care You’re the calm I run back to The hand I reach for in the room You already know it’s true But I’ll say it cause you want me to I love you One more time And every time after that too [Verse 2] You hold my hand like I’m worth holding Like I’m not too much to keep You let me talk through all my weather Then pull me closer when I freeze I used to think love meant losing Parts of me I couldn’t spare Then you came in soft and steady And showed me I was safe right there [Pre-Chorus] So if my voice shakes Let it shake I’m still saying what I mean [Chorus] I love you One more time In the dark In the morning light I love you When I’m scared When I act like I don’t care You’re the calm I run back to The hand I reach for in the room You already know it’s true But I’ll say it cause you want me to I love you One more time And every time after that too [Bridge] Before you go Before we sleep Before the world gets loud again Before I overthink my heart And try to pull it back again Take these words Take them all I’m not running tonight You don’t need proof But here’s the truth You’re the one I choose this time [Final Chorus] I love you One more time With my guard down With my hand in mine I love you Not for show Not because You need to know But cause your name feels safe to say And I want you at the end of days You already know it’s true But I’ll say it cause you asked me to I love you One more time And every time after that too [Outro] [soft fading female vocal] Say it once before you go I’ll say it back Even though you know
