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 |
