[Verse 1] I learn your favorite laugh and keep it on my tongue I make a little weather just to watch your face turn warm A compliment can carry me from Monday into June Then silence lands, and every kind word loses its perfume [Pre-Chorus] I keep asking every mirror if I’m easy to adore If I gather enough yeses, will I still ask for more? [Chorus] Love me, love me—say it like you mean it Tell me I’m the one you choose when all the noise is leaving I can make you want me, I can make it look so easy But your heart can’t plug the hollow that keeps asking, “Do you need me?” [Verse 2] I’m quick with the bright answer, quick to turn the joke around I can read a shifting eyebrow like a siren in the sound Every new affection feels like proof I might be fine Till the sweetness starts to fade and I’m back there, counting signs [Bridge] If I stop performing, what remains? A pulse that doesn’t need a witness to be real [Final Chorus] Love me, love me—say it like you mean it Tell me I’m the one you choose when all the noise is leaving I can make you want me, but I’m learning to believe it: I am more than someone’s answer; I am here before you see me
