[JAKE]
You should be loved
By someone who knows you
Wants you to blossom
Always is true
You should be cherished
Like the first sign of springtime
You should be loved...
You should be loved
With constant devotion
Heart-pounding pa**ion
Flooding you through
You should be treasured
Like a ruby or a diamond
You should be loved in the way
I love you
All through the years
I've held oceans inside
Held back the tears
And the waves and the tide
The dam had to burst
And the currents collide
With a flood of emotion
I can no longer hide
We should be close
As stars are to heaven
Shoreline to ocean
Birds to the blue
We should be coupled
With a lifetime connection
We should be joined
Like we're one and not two
Yes, you should be loved
In the way I love you
[VIOLET]
Jake, of course we love each other
Like a brother and sister
Or mother and child
Not in a way that is wild like...
[JAKE]
Haven't you heard what I'm saying?
I am in love with you
[VIOLET]
Oh, Jake
Oh no
I never thought—
Never felt—
[JAKE]
What I felt?
[VIOLET]
I never knew
[JAKE]
Well now you do
[VIOLET]
You know me better than anyone
Except Daisy
You've always been more than a friend
You know I don't long to see Paris or Rome
All that I want is a husband and home
[JAKE]
I could be both
[VIOLET]
The world won't let you
[JAKE]
I don't care about them
Only you
With love, we could rise above
The whispers and stares
We could challenge the powers of fate
We could master a bad circumstance
If you give me a chance [JAKE]
We should be close
As stars are to heaven
Shoreline to ocean
Birds to the blue
We should be coupled
With a lifetime connection
We should be joined
Like we're one and not two
Yes, you should be loved [VIOLET]
We are
close
Like a
brother and sister
Mother and child
The world won't let us
I know what people do
I am loved [JAKE & VIOLET]
And in my way I love you
[VIOLET]
I want to be like everyone else
I couldn't bear what they would say
If I loved you that way
[JAKE]
If I can see past your affliction
Why can't you see past mine?
Why do you care what people might say?
Why try to fit into their design?
If I had told you your love was a lie
Would you have kissed it goodbye?
One of these days
You will look back in shame
After you've learned
That a spark's not a flame
You will regret how you pushed love aside
When you're married to nothing
When you're misery's bride
You should be loved
By someone who wants you
Tries to protect you
Always comes through
You should have chosen
The one who supports you
Always supports you whatever you do!
Yes, you should be loved
In the way I love you
