I Just Want To Be Loved

(Verse 1) I hold my breath when conflict starts to rise Afraid to look in someone’s eyes What if they see I’m not okay? So I just smile and look away I say “I’m fine” though it’s not true ’Cause speaking up is hard to do I’d rather carry all the weight Than be the reason someone hates (Chorus) I just wanna be loved by everyone I meet Even if you hate me — it still gets to me And if we argue, I cry myself to sleep ’Cause I don’t wanna be your f***t I just wanna be your peace (Verse 2) If I mess up, you’ll see it fast I try to smile, but it won’t last I say I’m fine, but that’s not true I always think it’s all my fault Sometimes I just feel left out I don’t know why, it is just there I try to give the best of me But not everyone can see (Chorus) I just wanna be loved by everyone I meet Even if you hate me — it still gets to me And if we argue, I cry myself to sleep ’Cause I don’t wanna be your f***t I just wanna be your peace (Bridge) Some days the world just brings me down But I still try to show I care I feel it all, it’s who I am Still hoping that I’m enough (Final Chorus) I just want someone to like me for who I am Even when I mess things up and don’t understand If you walk away, I’ll leave a light on for you I don’t wanna f***t or scream I just wanna feel like home to you So when I feel the basest I don’t want to show it, but I want you to see
