[Verse 1] I count each face that turns my way And spend my breath to make them stay I tune my laugh to fit the light Then lose my own voice by the night [Pre-Chorus] Say you need me, say it twice I keep the words like little lights But every yes that I collect Can't make the ache feel less exact [Chorus] I need everybody wanting me I need your eyes to say I'm real I make you fall, then wait to see If all that praise can teach me how to feel Tell me I'm enough, tell me again I keep on reaching past the end [Verse 2] I turn a glance into a vow I’m loved for who I’m acting now The applause fades; I check your face And chase the warmth I can't replace [Bridge] If I stop performing, do I disappear? If I let you see me, will you still be here? [Final Chorus] I need everybody wanting me I need your eyes to say I'm real I make you fall, then wait to see If all that praise can teach me how to feel Tell me I'm enough—then let it end I want to meet myself again
