Will I be good enough tomorrow?
Would I be good enough today?
I gave back all the things I borrowed
But I couldn't clean up all my stains

(Chorus:)
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you

Bite my lip when I am bitter
As I wave goodbye to all my dreams
I'm hoping you will make me better
Stitching the tear within my seams

(Chorus:)
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you

And it feels o.k.
When you mold this clay
And I know I'm made by you, yeah, by you

Where's the virtue in the waiting
When you slay me with your word
As all the light above is fading
In darkest silence you are heard

(Chorus:)
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you
