[Intro] Dear lover girl I know. I know you feel it all. [Verse 1] You make a home out of a conversation Read between the lines nobody sees You remember how they take their coffee Hold their secrets like they’re yours to keep You can tell when someone’s barely breathing Behind the “I’m okay” they always say And somehow you become the soft place They run to when the world gets hard to face [Pre-Chorus] They call it too much when it scares them Like a heart that big’s a thing to hide But you were never made for halfway You were built to make the dark feel light [Chorus] Dear lover girl, don’t let them make you cold Don’t trade your gold for something you can hold I know you gave your heart to hands That never knew what it was worth But loving like you do is not your curse Dear lover girl, keep making worlds feel warm Keep dancing in your room through every storm They might not know what to do with you But one day somebody’s gonna choose The way you love like it’s the truest thing on earth [Verse 2] You’ve stayed too long inside a maybe Made excuses just to keep the peace Put their needs ahead of all your own Then wondered why you felt so incomplete You don’t have to bleed to prove you mean it You don’t have to fix what you didn’t break Loving hard doesn’t mean you’re weak And sometimes leaving can be love in its own way [Pre-Chorus] So save a little of that magic For the girl inside your mirror too The right love won’t ask you to disappear Just so it can make room for you [Chorus] Dear lover girl, don’t let them make you cold Don’t trade your gold for something you can hold I know you gave your heart to hands That never knew what it was worth But loving like you do is not your curse Dear lover girl, keep making worlds feel warm Keep dancing in your room through every storm They might not know what to do with you But one day somebody’s gonna choose The way you love like it’s the truest thing on earth [Bridge] Romanticize the way the sunlight Finds you on a Sunday afternoon Buy the flowers, write the letters Make a life that’s beautiful for you And if it hurts, let it hurt— Just don’t confuse a broken heart With a reason to become Someone you are not [Final Chorus] Dear lover girl, don’t let them make you cold Don’t trade your gold for something you can hold You were put here to feel deeply To leave kindness in your wake Just make sure you don’t lose yourself In every heart you try to save Dear lover girl, stay open, stay alive Keep a little wonder in your eyes The world could use a heart like yours Let the wrong ones wonder what they lost Dear lover girl— There’s still a morning with your name on it
