I used to shrink in every room
Speak soft like I might bruise the truth
But now I laugh without a script
And I like the way it slips from my lips
With you I don’t rehearse
I don’t check if I sound worse
You look at me like I’m enough
And somehow, I believe it too—
I like me with you
Not just the way you smile
But how I start to
Breathe deeper, stand taller for a while
You don’t fix me, you don’t try
But around you, I don’t lie
I used to chase who I should be
But I like me, with you next to me
You never made me feel too much
Didn’t call me loud, or hush
You just listen, then you stay
Like I’m more than words I say
Maybe that’s the kind of love
That lifts without a push or shove
Not saving me or setting rules
Just holding space and breaking tools
I like me with you
Not ‘cause you make me whole
But because I found
Little pieces I’d let go
You don’t write me a new part
You just show me where to start
I don’t want to change a thing I do
I just like me… when I’m with you
