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 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 it 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
