To be loved

I've never thought I knew who I am
I never knew how hard I could cry
I started chasing the moment, but didn't know when I started believing the lie
The lie that said life would always be this way
The lie that said nothing could ever change

I thought my life ended when you left
I thought I'd have to walk on my own
But if I look deep inside, I know I'll never be alone

I want to be somebody, not just anybody
I want to stand out and break out from the ordinary
I want to be who I am, and have that be enough
I want what everyone else wants
I just want to be loved

It's amazing seeing life in color for the first time
And when you paint outside the lines, there's so much to rediscover
Like the warmth of the sun on my cheek, the sound of the rolling ocean and the way the grass tickles the bottom of my feet

I thought my life ended when you left
I thought I'd have to walk on my own
But if I look deep inside, I know I'll never be alone

I want to be somebody, not just anybody
I want to stand out and break out from the ordinary
I want to be who I am, and have that be enough
I want what everyone else wants
I just want to be loved

Don't want to hide it, don't want to fight it anymore
One minute you've got your whole life and the next minute it's passed you by

I thought my life ended when you left
I thought I'd have to walk on my own
But if I look deep inside, I know I'll never be alone

I want to be somebody, not just anybody
I want to stand out and break out from the ordinary
I want to be who I am, and have that be enough
I want what everyone else wants
I just want to be loved
