[Verse 1] I learn your favorite color Before I learn your middle name I turn each small kindness Into proof I’m worth the stay I make my laughter brighter When your attention starts to drift Then count the seconds after Like they’re something I can fix [Pre-Chorus] If you want me, I can be Every version you might need [Chorus] Love me loud, love me again Say I matter, tell me when I keep reaching past my skin For a yes that settles in Love me now, then love me more I keep score and call it sure But your praise can’t fill the space I keep hiding from my face [Verse 2] I watch your eyes for weather I rehearse the right reply A compliment can hold me Till the next one passes by I’m tired of auditioning For a place inside your mind Still I chase the little signal That says I’m not left behind [Bridge] Who am I when no one claps? Who am I between the gaps? I want to stay here, unperformed Not a promise to be adored [Final Chorus] Love me loud, love me again Say I matter, tell me when I keep reaching past my skin Now I’m learning to come in Love me now, then love me more I won’t beg outside your door Your praise can’t name my worth for me I’m more than what you see
