I love you because you have those Polaroids of me inside your nightstand
And I love you because you’re understanding when I’m too shy to show my skin
Sometimes I forget, wasn’t always this way
It’s hard to admit, I was the one to blame
When I met you at summer camp
I would never give you the chance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
Autumn came and December went
Turned you down at your high school dance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
I love you because when I say “I don’t wanna talk” you always call me
And I love you because you lead me back to bed when I wander in my sleep
Sometimes I forget, wasn’t always this way
It’s hard to admit, I was the one to blame
When I met you at summer camp
I would never give you the chance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
Autumn came and December went
Turned you down at your high school dance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
And after all this time, you were right
Can we take more Polaroids for you to hide?
When I met you at summer camp
I would never give you the chance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
Autumn came and December went
Turned you down at your high school dance
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
You still la-love me anyway
Anyway
Unconditional Love Through Nostalgia and Growth
“Love Me Anyway” by Chappell Roan is a heartfelt ode to unconditional love, woven through the lens of personal growth and nostalgia. The lyrics paint intimate snapshots—from treasured Polaroids tucked in a nightstand to gentle gestures that comfort during vulnerability. Roan reflects on a journey where love persists despite her own hesitations and past rejections, such as refusing a chance at summer camp or declining a high school dance invitation. These repeated instances highlight the unwavering patience and devotion of her partner. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of being accepted and cherished for who we truly are, even when we struggle to love ourselves.
