[Chorus: Kirstin Maldonado & All]
When all my sanity's gone
The demons are strong
I put you through hell
You know me too well
And you bring me home
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't
When I'm too hard on myself
I don't ask for help
When I'm not okay
I push you away
But you pull me close
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't
[Verse 1: Mitch Grassi & Matt Sallee]
I hear the voice in my head gettin' way too loud
I got the weight of the world tryna take me down
I'm out here walking the edge
I lost my grip on reality that gets to me
Your problеms, I got 'em
No need to worry, you won't hit the bottom
So love mе like you do
When I forget how to
[Chorus: Kirstin Maldonado & All]
When all my sanity's gone
The demons are strong
I put you through hell
You know me too well
And you bring me home
'Cause you always know (Always know)
How to love me when I don't
When I'm too hard on myself
I don't ask for help
When I'm not okay
I push you away
But you pull me close
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't
[Post-Chorus: Kirstin Maldonado & All]
Say it when I won't
Pray when I can't hope
Throw me the last rope
Be there when I choke
Love me when I don't
[Verse 2: Mitch Grassi & Scott Hoying]
You always pull back the waves when they're gettin' high
Know how to soften the light 'cause it hurts my eyes
I can lose sight of myself
You show me how to get back again to who I am
Your problems, I'll stop 'em
No need to worry, they'll all be forgotten
So love me like you do (Love me like you do)
If I don't know how to
[Chorus: Kirstin Maldonado & All]
When all my sanity's gone
The demons are strong
I put you through hell
You know me too well
And you bring me home
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't
When I'm too hard on myself
I don't ask for help
When I'm not okay
I push you away
But you pull me close
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't
[Post-Chorus: Kirstin Maldonado & All]
Say it when I won't
Pray when I can't hope (Pray when I can't hope)
Throw me the last rope
Be there when I choke
Love me when I don't
[Bridge: Scott Hoying]
No, oh
When I don't
Love me when I don't
Love me when I don't
[Outro: All]
When I'm too hard on myself
I don't ask for help
When I'm not okay
I push you away
But you pull me close
'Cause you always know
How to love me when I don't

The song itself is about being able to lean on the people around you, the ones that are close to you. We all feel insecure, we all feel down and terrified at times. It’s nice to have those people around you that can lift you up and “love you when you don’t love yourself”. And I think that’s somethin...
