Lyrics

 

Verse 1

Morning comes a little too soon
Same old light, same quiet room
You learn to bend before you speak
things are strong before they’re weak

The house still echoes with yesterday
Some words linger, some fade away
You hold the peace the best you can
Like water held in open hands

​

Pre-Chorus

Love’s not always what you planned
It asks for more than you understand
choose your battles, choose your tone
Hoping you don’t stand alone

​

Chorus

I wish you loved me the way I love you
With a softer touch, a little more time
I’d meet you halfway, I always do
Just hoping someday that you will too
I’m not asking for a brand-new start
Just a kinder heart
I wish you loved me the way I love you

​

Verse 2

Some days are diamonds, some are stone
Some days you feel alone
You say you’re sorry, you mean it then
But the same lines get crossed again

We remember how it used to be
Back when love came easily
We still believe in what we’ve made
Even when it’s hard to stay

 

Pre-Chorus

Marriage isn’t words you say
It’s how you show up every day
Learning when to bend, not break
How much of yourself you’re willing to stake

​

Chorus

I wish you loved me the way I love you
With a softer touch, a little more time
I’d meet you halfway, I always do
Just hoping someday that you will too
I’m not asking for a brand-new start
Just a kinder heart
I wish you loved me the way I love you

​

Bridge

Love’s a language we’re still learning
How to hear the hurt behind the burning
If we slow it down, lay our pride aside
There’s still a road worth trying

It takes two hearts to hold the line
Two hands reaching at the same time

​

Final Chorus

I wish you loved me the way I love you
With a softer touch, a little more time
I’d meet you halfway, I always do
Just hoping someday that you will too
I’m not asking for a brand-new start
Just a kinder heart
I wish you loved me the way I love you
