Love Me Like You Mean It

Описание: Lyrics
You say my name like you know what it’s worth
Like you ain’t out here playin’ with somebody’s heart
But I’ve heard “forever” fall apart in a week
Watched pretty talk turn into “baby I’ll be back”

I ain’t hard to love, I’m hard to fool
So if you want me, boy, come tell the truth

Don’t bring me roses (you don’t water)
Don’t call it heaven (if it’s only for a night)
If you’re gonna light me up, (then light me up proper)
I’m not a habit, (I’m a whole damn life)

So love me like you mean it!
Like you don’t got one foot out the door
Like you’re proud of the weight of my feelings
And you ain’t scared to hold ‘em anymore
If you want this kiss, (then keep it)
If you want this fire, (don’t leave it in the cold)
Come on, baby, say it, show it
Love me like you mean it!
Or let me go

I don’t need a man, (I need a match)
Somebody steady when the wind gets loud
I’m done with “maybe,” (done with “we’ll see”)
Done with “I miss you” when you’re lonely, not around

If you’re real, (you’ll show up when it’s hard)
Not just when it’s easy in the dark

Don’t give me music (if you hate the dancing)
Don’t swear you’re different (then do the same old thing)
If you’re gonna stay, (then stop half-standin’)
Say it with your hands, (say it with your ring)

So love me like you mean it!
Like you don’t got one foot out the door
Like you’re proud of the weight of my feelings
And you ain’t scared to hold ‘em anymore
If you want this kiss, (then keep it)
If you want this fire, (don’t leave it in the cold)
Come on, baby, say it, show it
Love me like you mean it
Or let me go

I’m not askin’ for perfect
I’m askin’ for present
For late-night honesty, not last-minute lessons
If you’re here, be here
If you’re gone, be gone
But don’t hang your hat in my heart
Then act like nothin’s wrong

Yeah, I’m done beggin’ for the bare minimum
I’d rather be alone than halfway loved

Final Chorus (bigger, harmonies)

So love me like you mean it
Like you ain’t keepin’ secrets on your phone
Like you’re proud to stand right beside me
And you don’t leave me fightin’ on my own
If you want this kiss, (then keep it)
If you want this fire, (don’t leave it in the cold)
Come on, baby, say it, show it
(Love me like you mean it!!)
Or let me go

Outro

Yeah… love me like you mean it
Or let me go
