[Verse 1] I learn your favorite color by the second time we meet I turn my laugh a little louder, make the timing sweet I watch your eyes for signs that I have got it right And change my answer just to keep you by my side [Pre-Chorus] If you choose me, I can settle for a while If you praise me, I can wear a steady smile But when the good words fade, I start again Trying to be the one you’ll want back then [Chorus] Love me like I’m easy to adore Say it once, I’ll come back asking more I keep reaching for a yes that never stays Trying to get full on somebody else’s praise Love me, love me—tell me I belong I’ve been chasing that approval all along [Verse 2] I make a joke before the silence gets too wide I read your face and tuck my own wants to the side Every compliment can lift me for a day Then I need another one to keep the doubt away [Pre-Chorus] If you choose me, I can settle for a while If you praise me, I can wear a steady smile But when the good words fade, I start again Trying to be the one you’ll want back then [Chorus] Love me like I’m easy to adore Say it once, I’ll come back asking more I keep reaching for a yes that never stays Trying to get full on somebody else’s praise Love me, love me—tell me I belong I’ve been chasing that approval all along [Bridge] You can care for me; I’ll still be here Even when your voice is nowhere near Maybe I can meet the ache I hide And let my own yes stand beside me [Final Chorus] Love me like I’m easy to adore I won’t ask you to repair me anymore I can want your yes and still be mine I can hold my worth when yours declines Love me, love me—hear me say it strong I’m more than what you tell me all along [Outro] I’m more than what you tell me all along
