VALIDATED BY LOVE [Verse 1] You can tell me that you love me, You can say you miss me too, You can talk about forever, Say the things I want from you. But words are easy in the dark, Promises can sound so true. Love is more than what you say— It's what you actually do. [Pre-Chorus] I don't need another promise, I don't need another phrase. I need something I can feel In the choices that you make. [Chorus] You can tell me that you love me, Say I'm always on your mind, But love is more than words we say When the words are left behind. It's the reaching, it's the showing, It's the meeting halfway through. Love can be spoken, But a relationship is proven By the things we choose to do. [Verse 2] It's the way you stop and listen, It's the way you ask what's wrong. It's remembering what matters, It's the way you stay when things get hard. It's not one heart doing all the work, Trying to carry two. A relationship takes two hearts Choosing what to do. [Pre-Chorus] I don't need you to convince me That I'm worthy of your love. I need to know that what we're building Matters to you enough. [Chorus] You can tell me that you love me, Say I'm always on your mind, But love is more than words we say When the words are left behind. It's the reaching, it's the showing, It's the meeting halfway through. Love can be spoken, But a relationship is proven By the things we choose to do. [Bridge] Maybe love is not complicated, Maybe we make it so. Maybe it's the little things That tell me what I need to know. You don't have to promise forever, You don't have to say you do. Just show me, when it matters, That you're choosing me and you. [Final Chorus] You can tell me that you love me, Say I'm always on your mind, But love is more than words we say When the words are left behind. It's the reaching, it's the showing, It's the meeting halfway through. Love can be spoken, But a relationship is proven By the things we choose to do. [Outro] Love can start with words, But words alone won't carry through. Love can be spoken— A relationship is proven By the things we choose to do.
