Know me

Intro

Mm… (yeah)

(mm-hmm)

Verse 1

I don’t open fast (no)

I don’t fall on cue (mm)

I read the silence (I do)

Before I listen to you

I’ve been admired (I know)

But misunderstood (so many times)

They love the surface (yeah)

Never stayed for the roots

I feel everything (deep)

I don’t always speak (I don’t)

I watch how you move (I watch)

When you think no one sees

Pre-Chorus

It’s not what you say (no)

It’s how you stay (stay)

When it’s quiet (quiet)

When there’s nothing to gain

I don’t need chasing (no)

I don’t need proof (mm)

I just need to feel safe (feel safe)

Being all of me with you

Chorus

If you really know me (know me)

You won’t rush my heart (don’t rush)

You’ll meet me in patience (right here)

Not just in the spark

If you really see me (see me)

You’ll feel it in my eyes (in her eyes)

I don’t want perfection (no)

I want truth that don’t hide

Verse 2

I love in layers (layers)

I give in waves (slow)

I don’t fall often (no)

But when I do, I stay

I need intention (intention)

Not almost love (almost don’t work)

I need consistency (yeah)

Not words when it hurts

I notice effort (I do)

In the smallest ways (small things)

The way you listen (listen)

The way you say my name

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need control (no)

I don’t need games (mm-mm)

Just someone steady (steady)

Who ain’t afraid of my depth

If you touch my soul (my soul)

Before touching my skin (yeah)

That’s how I know (that’s how)

You’re really in

Chorus

If you really know me (know me)

You’ll handle me with care (with care)

You won’t love me loud (no)

You’ll love me fair

If you really want me (want me)

You’ll feel me before you move (before you move)

I’m not hard to love (no)

I just need someone true

Bridge (classic 90s breakdown)

I’ve been strong too long (too long)

Held my own (I did)

But I still want a place (a place)

Where my heart can rest

I don’t need saving (no)

I need understanding (understand me)

Someone who feels me (feels me)

Without demanding

Chorus (soft, emotional)

If you really know me (really know)

You’ll know when to stay (stay)

You’ll hear what I’m saying (mm)

When I don’t say a thing

If you really love me (love me)

You’ll meet me in truth (in truth)

I give you my heart (my heart)

If you know what to do

Outro

Mm… (yeah)

I’m not easy (no)

I’m worth it (worth it)
