Loved the way I always dreamed

I used to fold myself Smaller

Just to fit inside their lines

Bit my tongue

Dimmed my colors

Called the cracks in me just fine

Then you laughed at my worst jokes

Traced my scars like they were art

Said

Don’t move

Stay just like that

And it rewired my heart

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Every part of me seen

Every shade redeemed

You hold my hand like it’s a promise you’ll keep

I’m not too much

I’m not too deep

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Like the sun on my skin

After years of sleep

You tell me

Baby, You’re exactly right

And I believe it

I believe it this time

You kiss the mess in my kitchen

Turned my sorry into so?

Dance me around in my old hoodie

Like it’s a designer show

All the rules that used to cage me

Fade like chalk in a summer rain

Now my laughter fills the corners

Where I used to hide my shame

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Every part of me seen

Every shade redeemed

You hold my hand like it’s a promise you’ll keep

I’m not too much

I’m not too deep

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Like the sun on my skin

After years of sleep

You tell me

Baby, You’re exactly right

And I believe it

I believe it this time

Look at me now

Shoulders back

Head up

I’m glowing

Loves not a test

It’s a place where I keep growing

You didn’t fix me

You just stayed

And the hurt let go

“You are enough” and I finally know

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Every part of me seen

Every shade redeemed

You hold my hand like it’s a promise you’ll keep

I’m not too much

I’m not too deep

I’m loved the way I always dreamed

Like the sun on my skin

After years of sleep

You tell me

Baby, You’re exactly right

And I believe it

I believe it this time

I used to fold myself Smaller

Just to fit inside their lines

Bit my tongue

Dimmed my colors
