Love To Be Loved |
So, you know how people are |
When it’s all gone much too far |
The way their minds are made |
Still, there’s something you should know |
That I could not let show |
That fear of letting go And in this moment, I need to be needed |
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked |
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted |
'Cause I love to be loved |
I love to be loved |
Yes, I love to be loved |
I cry the way that babies cry |
The way they can’t deny |
The way they feel |
Words, they climb all over you |
'Til they uncover you |
From where you hide |
And in this moment, I need to be needed |
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked |
In this emptiness and fear, |
I want to be wanted |
'Cause I love to be loved |
I love to be loved |
Oh I love to be loved |
This old familiar craving |
I’ve been here before, this way of behaving |
Don’t know who the hell I’m saving anymore |
Let it pass let it go let it leave |
From the deepest place I grieve |
This time I believe |
And I let go I can let go of it |
Though it takes all the strength in me And all the world can see |
I’m losing such a central part of me |
I can let go of it |
You know I mean it You know that I mean it I recognize how much I’ve lost |
But I cannot face the cost |
'Cause I love to be loved |
Yes I love to be loved |
I love to be loved |
I love to be loved |
I love to be loved |
Yes I love to be loved |
