Love You Right

Baby, I wanna be everything you couldn't get right

Honey, I wanna kiss every scar you left behind

I don't just want your body in my arms

I want the weight you carry when you fall apart

You've been hurt more times than you can count

But you can count on me to ease those doubts

If you're scared, I'll be scared with you

If you're shaking, hell, I am too

This ain't a game, this ain't a spark

It's a slow burn straight through the heart

So come here and let me love you nice and slow

The kind of forever you thought you'd never know

I'm sorry he hurt you, but I'm glad he did

'Cause now I can show you the kind of love you missed

So come a little closer, lay your head on my chest

Get lost in my arms and put your fears to rest

Every hurt you've ever known, and you need tonight

I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you right

Baby, I see the way you flinch when the night gets quiet

Honey, I hear every doubt when you don't even say it

You've learned to love with one foot out the door

Like leaving first hurts less than before

But I'm not leaving when it gets too real

I'm staying right here, feeling what you feel

If your past comes knocking at 2 a.m.

I'll hold you tight, I won't let it in

This ain't a promise made in the dark

It's a steady flame leaving its mark

So come here and let me love you nice and slow

The kind of forever you thought you'd never know

I'm sorry he hurt you, but I'm glad he did

'Cause now I can show you the kind of love you missed

So come a little closer, lay your head on my chest

Get lost in my arms and put your fears to rest

Every hurt you've ever known ends with me tonight

I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you right

Every hurt you've ever known ends with me tonight

I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you right
