(Aaaaahi, byeeee)

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 [x2]
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 [x2]
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 [x2]

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
[x3]


I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
