Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Met you on a weak day

Heart half-off on the rack

You said all the right things

I kept never looking back

Took your crumbs like they were diamonds

Called it “just the way it works”

Told my girls that I was happy

Even when it kinda hurt

[Chorus]

We accept the love we think we deserve

I kept shrinking down my worth for your words

Gave you all this heart

Just to watch it burn

Guess I took the love

Took the love I thought I deserved (oh yeah)

But I’m learning what I’m worth

[Verse 2]

You were good at staying distant

Close enough to keep me near

I kept drawing softer boundaries

You kept playing on my fears

Every “sorry” felt like honey

Till it faded into dust

I was loyal to your chaos

When I should’ve picked my trust

[Chorus]

We accept the love we think we deserve

I kept shrinking down my worth for your words

Gave you all this heart

Just to watch it burn

Guess I took the love

Took the love I thought I deserved (mm-mm)

But I’m learning what I’m worth

[Bridge]

Now I talk to my reflection

Say “you’re more than all that pain”

Every scar became a sentence

Spelling out my brand-new name (hey)

If I ever give my heart again

It won’t be for someone to hurt

I won’t settle for the version

Of the love I think I deserve

[Chorus]

We accept the love we think we deserve

But I’m done with making cages from words

If you want this heart

Better show and serve

‘Cause I want the love

Want the love I know I deserve (yeah, yeah)

I’m reclaiming what I’m worth
