Loved Like This

[Verse 1]
Coffee cup on the table
His shirt on my chair
Sun sneaks through the curtain
He’s still tangled in my hair
Laugh lines on his shoulder
I trace them real slow
He laughs
Pulls me closer
Says
“Baby
You should know…”
[Chorus]
I ain’t ever been loved like this
Like a Sunday morning kiss
Like the world could fall
But his hands don’t slip
I ain’t ever been loved like this (oh, like this)
He looks at me like I’m the only thing
In every room he’s walking in
Heart finally believing what my mind once missed
I ain’t ever been loved like this
[Verse 2]
He sees the cracks in my armor
Doesn’t turn away
Leaves little notes on the mirror
“Girl
You’re more than okay”
I lose my cool
Start pacing
He just laughs
Stands still
Says
“Baby
I’m staying
You can break
I’m here until…”
[Chorus]
I ain’t ever been loved like this
Like a Sunday morning kiss
Like the world could fall
But his hands don’t slip
I ain’t ever been loved like this (oh, like this)
He holds my name like a sacred thing
Soft on his tongue when the phone might ring
Heart finally believing what my mind once missed
I ain’t ever been loved like this
[Bridge]
Feels like breathing for the first time
Like my own skin finally fits
All the hurt I used to carry
Melts when he pulls me in
[Chorus]
I ain’t ever been loved like this
Like a Sunday morning kiss
Like the world could fall
But his hands don’t slip
I ain’t ever been loved like this (yeah, like this)
He loves the parts that I tried to hide
Says they’re the reason he’s by my side
Heart finally believing what my mind once missed
I ain’t ever been loved
Ever been loved like this
