[Verse 1]
Every single night, I sit there alone
Hands on my knees, and my heart feel stone
Body start shaking when the room go still
I smile at the dark, but it don’t help me heal
Quiet in the corner, I don’t make a sound
Pain in my chest got me staring down
I keep all these thoughts where nobody can see
And I wonder why love don’t come for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I been holding on too long
Acting like I’m strong
But the truth hit hard
When the house get dark
[Chorus]
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
Tell me somebody sees me
Tell me I’m enough
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
I’m tired of breaking easy
I’m tired of this hush
[Verse 2]
I sit with my ghosts and I know them by name
Same cold questions, same old shame
Why does my chest feel heavy for days?
Why do my tears stay tucked away?
I laugh at the phone when it don’t even ring
Then I sit right back in that empty thing
I got so much hurt that I never release
So I hold my breath like it’s keeping me free
[Pre-Chorus]
I been holding on too long
Acting like I’m strong
But the truth hit hard
When the house get dark
[Chorus]
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
Tell me somebody sees me
Tell me I’m enough
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
I’m tired of breaking easy
I’m tired of this hush
[Bridge]
If you saw me now, would you stay?
Would you still care if I fade?
I got love carved out of my name
And pain that don’t know how to change
So I sit there quiet, let it pass
Hoping one day I won’t feel this lack
[Final Chorus]
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
Tell me somebody sees me
Tell me I’m enough
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
I’m tired of breaking easy
I’m tired of this hush
