Love Us Anyway

Intro

Kie-ran…

Maybe we were never meant to be perfect.

Maybe we were just two hearts
learning what love could be.

'Cause I know I loved you…

And I know you loved me too.

Verse 1

When you held me close,
you made the whole world disappear.

You'd wipe the tears from my face
and make me feel safe right there.

You'd tell me I was beautiful,
sing like nobody else was around.

But when the moment passed
somehow we both got lost again.

I had my moments too,
I'd pull away when I felt too much.

I'd need reassurance
but struggle to ask for it.

You needed space,
I needed closeness.

We were both protecting hearts
we didn't know how to trust.

Pre-Chorus

You weren't always wrong.

I wasn't always right.

Sometimes you needed space
and I needed you that night.

Sometimes I held too tightly.

Sometimes you let go.

Maybe we were both just learning
what we didn't know.

Chorus

I don't wanna paint you
as the bad guy.

I don't wanna make myself
the victim in our story.

We were two young hearts
trying to figure out love.

Sometimes we got close.

Sometimes we weren't enough.

You had your fears.

I had mine.

We both said things
we couldn't always live by.

But if somebody asks me
what you meant to me…

I'll never call you a mistake.

I'll say you were love to me.

Verse 2

We gave each other pieces
we had never given anyone.

Maybe that's why letting go
never felt like letting go of just someone.

There were nights I wanted forever.

There were days you needed room.

And sometimes my fear of losing you
made me expect too much too soon.
