Earn a Place Inside You

[Verse 1]
I learn the angle of your attention
I turn each sentence till it lands just right
I make a small miracle of a mention
Then count the seconds till you look my way

[Pre-Chorus]
If you choose me, I can settle
If you praise me, I can stand
I keep changing my reflection
To fit the reach of someone’s hand

[Chorus]
Love me, love me—say it like you mean it
Tell me I’m the one you want around
I keep trying to earn a place inside you
Like your wanting could make me whole somehow
Love me, love me—keep the answer coming
I’m so tired of asking what I’m worth

[Verse 2]
I turn a glance into a promise
A passing kindness into proof
Then when the feeling leaves me empty
I go looking for another truth

[Bridge]
What if I could let the silence answer?
What if I could stay when praise runs dry?

[Final Chorus]
Love me, love me—say it like you mean it
Tell me I’m the one you want around
I’m still learning I can hold my own name
Even when you don’t say it out loud
Love me, love me—hear the old plea fading
I am more than what you see in me
