[Intro] "Love me love me say you love me" "Tell me I am somebody" "Tell me I am not just a body" "Tell me you would miss me if you lost me" "Love me love me say you love me" "Please do not make me ask you" [Verse 1] I am a people pleaser with every answer wrong I keep changing my opinions just to help me get along Got a different face for every place I do not belong And a fake little laugh so no one knows I am gone I can read a room but I cannot read myself Know what everybody needs but leave my own on a shelf I am so good at being useful I forget what I am worth Like I have to earn my place on this big and crowded Earth I can tell you what you want before you even know Put your feelings first and hide the ones I never show If agreeing is the game then I am good at playing pretend But I lose a little more of me each time I try to fit in Every answer feels like danger every silence feels like blame I keep trying to say the right thing so you will see me the same If I speak my mind you might leave so I keep it locked away I am full of other people with no room for me to stay [Pre Chorus] "Did you love me when I said it" "Did you love me when I lied" "Did you love the real me" "Or the one I keep inside" [Chorus] "Love me love me say you love me" "Say it like you mean it say it like you know me" "Love me love me do not just say it show me" "If I stop pretending will you still hold me" "Love me love me say you love me" "Would you choose me or just anybody" "Love me love me tell me I am not lonely" "If I am nobody can you still love me" [Verse 2] I do not know what would be done if I had no body Would my thoughts still matter would I mean something to somebody If my face was gone and no one knew my name Would you see me as the same or would I just fade away Am I more than how I look and all the things I say More than all the little acts I use to get through every day If my life was just a story who decides what I become Am I living as myself or just being what you want I adapt I change I hide I play along Wear a mask for so long I forget where I belong I can act like I fit in I can say the words just right But the closer that I get to you the less I know my own life It is strange that I can see the things that make me scared Know the reasons for my fear but still feel unprepared I can talk about my problems like I know just what to do But knowing why I hurt does not mean I can make it through Knowing I am not alone does not make the fear go away I can hear a hundred kind words and still doubt what people say I can know that I am worth it and still ask for something more There is knowing in your head and what your heart believes in store [Chorus] "Love me love me say you love me" "Say it like you mean it say it like you know me" "Love me love me do not just say it show me" "If I stop pretending will you still hold me" "Love me love me say you love me" "Would you choose me or just anybody" "Love me love me tell me I am not lonely" "If I am nobody can you still love me" [Bridge] "What if I stopped agreeing" "What if I stopped pretending" "What if I stopped worrying" "About how this all might end" "Would you call me difficult" "Would you say I changed" "Would you see that I am hurting" "If I stopped acting okay" "Love me love me say you love me" "How much of me have you met" "Love me love me say you love me" "Is there anything left" [Verse 3] Maybe fear is just the price I pay to feel like I belong Maybe I have tried to fit so much I lost the words to my own song Maybe I thought being easy was the way to make me strong But being loved for who I fake to be just feels so wrong It does not feel like love if I must hide to make it stay I cannot trust a promise just because I want it that way I could hear a thousand kind words and still fear you will leave It is hard to trust that love is real when I doubt what I believe I want a love that stays when I do not get things right One that lets me speak my mind and does not turn it to a fight I want someone who can know me when I am not at my best Someone who can see my flaws and let me have a rest But I cannot make you stay and I cannot know the end I cannot plan for every loss or make each fear a friend Maybe being safe does not mean no one will ever leave Maybe I can still be me and let myself believe [Final Chorus] "Love me love me say you love me" "Say it like you mean it say it like you know me" "Love me love me do not just say it show me" "If I stop pretending will you still hold me" "Love me love me say you love me" "I am tired of being who you need me to be" "Love me love me tell me I am not lonely" "If I stop asking" "Will you still love me" [Outro] "Love me love me" "Say you love me"
