The Way You Love Me

[Verse 1]
You don’t keep a running total
When I stumble
When I stray
You just hold the hurt so softly
’Til the sharp edges fade away
You don’t turn love to a weapon
When you’re right and I am wrong
You just say my name so tender
And suddenly I’m strong
[Chorus]
This is the way you love me
Patient and kind
You stay
You give me room to fall apart
Then you choose to stay anyway
You never make me earn it
You see the best part of me
If there’s a perfect kind of heart
It’s in the way you love me
[Verse 2]
You don’t dance with every rumor
You don’t rush to take offense
You just listen through my chaos
Hear the truth behind defense
You don’t keep my past in pictures
Throw them in my face at night
You just cover all my shadows
’Til they’re swallowed up in light
[Chorus]
This is the way you love me
Patient and kind
You stay
You give me room to fall apart
Then you choose to stay anyway
You never make me earn it
You see the best part of me
If there’s a perfect kind of heart
It’s in the way you love me
[Bridge]
When every promise
Starts to feel cheap
You’re still the one
My soul can believe
When I’m unworthy
Barely breathing
You are the reason
I keep believing (oh)
[Chorus]
This is the way you love me
Patient and kind
You stay
You give me room to fall apart
Then you choose to stay anyway
You never make me earn it
You see the best part of me
If there’s a perfect kind of heart
It’s in the way you love me
Yeah
If there’s a perfect kind of heart
It’s in the way you love me

Warm pop-soul ballad with female vocals; gentle piano and soft live bass at the core, brushed drums and airy pads building from intimate verse to a soaring, harmony‑stacked chorus; subtle guitar swells and a late, lifted key change in the final hook for emotional release, leaving space for ad‑lib runs on the outro., gospel, female vocals
