If You Love Me

[Verse 1]
You say you missed me, I say, “That’s kind”
Then search your face for the joke behind
You call me precious; I turn it around
Maybe you’re gentle with everyone now

[Pre-Chorus]
I count each kindness, weigh every word
Then doubt the warmth before it’s heard

[Chorus]
If you love me, let it land
I keep slipping from your hand
You say my name like you mean to stay
I hear pity wearing love’s face
If you love me, say it again
I’m learning where the fear begins

[Verse 2]
You save me a seat in your Saturday plans
I make a small case for your helping hands
You laugh at my story, I study the sound
Wondering what you’d say if I weren’t around

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what you’ve shown me, I know what is true
Still there’s a voice saying, “Not meant for you”

[Chorus]
If you love me, let it land
I keep slipping from your hand
You say my name like you mean to stay
I hear pity wearing love’s face
If you love me, say it again
I’m learning where the fear begins

[Bridge]
Maybe your care doesn’t come with a catch
Maybe I don’t have to earn it back
I can be wanted and still feel afraid
I can let one kind word remain

[Final Chorus]
If you love me, I’ll let it land
Try not to vanish from your hand
You say my name like you mean to stay
I’ll try believing what you say
If you love me, say it again
I’m learning how to let you in

[Outro]
I’m learning how to let it in
