There's a gentleness I've known
Knew it best when it was fading
Tryin' to find my way back home
Don't you know
There's no escapin'
Chorus
Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
'Cause I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew
Verse 2
Turned away from all my dreams
Broken down, disintegrating
Ignored the signs of all deceit
Couldn't believe, Can you blame me
Chorus
Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
'Cause I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew
Bridge
Didn't see until it all was done
Felt so right to hold someone
What I saw in you was almost true
Brutal what the heart will do
Chorus
Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew
Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew
