To Be Loved

To Be Loved

Verse 1

You've been surrounded by people all through your life

But you've never been close to anyone

You felt all alone

So each night you starred at the stars

They shined brightly in the darkness of the night

As as the light reached your eyes, you closed them

And made a wish

"I want to be loved" is what you said every night

You hoped it would come true

That's all you ever wanted

Verse 2

You don't know what is feels like to be deep in someone's heart

You're with them wherever they go

They feel like they're at home

But you felt like you've been pushed aside all your life

Like you didn't matter at all

You tried to stand out

But nobody noticed you

You felt like you were invisible

Sometimes you wished you had never been born

You wouldn't have to endure loneliness

Chorus

To be loved is all you ever wanted

And you have yet to receive it

It's like a battle you're fighting 

In which you always lose

To be loved is all you ever wanted

And you have yet to receive it

You want someone to care for you

And to love you for who you are
