[Verse 1] I learn the laugh that makes you stay I tune my words to what you praise Your eyes say yes, I breathe again Then count the seconds till they change [Pre-Chorus] I keep auditioning my heart For every face that passes by If you all want me, I can rest If one turns away, I come undone [Chorus] Love me loud, love me now Say I’m worth the trouble somehow I make a hundred versions shine Just to hear your name beside mine Love me loud, don’t let it fade Tell me I’m the choice you made I chase your yes until it fills The hollow that your praise can’t heal [Verse 2] I turn a glance into a sign Make every compliment a shrine But morning comes; the feeling thins And I’m back asking to get in [Bridge] What if I stop selling the show? What if I let the wanting show? [Final Chorus] Love me loud, love me now I’m more than what you say somehow I can want you, still be mine No applause can draw that line
