[Verse 1] You pull your hoodie past your eyes Like you’re hiding from the world again But I’ve seen the way you light a room Just by laughing with your friends You don’t know I’m watching But I’ve always been [Chorus] And oh, the way you are Like a sky before it rains Like a fire that never asks To be explained You don’t need to change a thing You’re already everything And I love you from afar Just the way you are [Verse 2] You hum a song nobody knows And I catch it in my mind The way you sit alone sometimes Like peace is hard to find You don't need to notice But I notice every time [Chorus] And oh, the way you are It stays with me all day Like the words you never said Still know what to say. Well, I'm just grateful that you exist.. And I love you from afar Just the way you are [Bridge – soft, confessional, fast like Taylor’s style] I don’t need to stand beside you I don’t need the world to see If you ever feel a calm wind That’s just me... ....Keeping you company [Final Chorus – quiet, stripped down] And oh, the way you are Is more than I deserve But I’ll carry it in silence With every word You don’t have to love me back I don’t ever need that ‘Cause I’ve loved you from the start Just the way you are Outro I’m not asking for your heart— I’m already holding yours. Knowing that to love you so Is already a blessing, endlessly.
