[Verse 1]
Cleaned out my closet
Old pictures in a shoebox on the floor
All of these almosts
Names I don’t say out loud anymore
I gave my heart on a silver plate
Watched it get chipped and tossed away
Now I’m here talking to the ceiling
Asking why I still believe in
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Really loved
Held like I’m the only one
Kissed like there’s a sunrise
Every time the night is done
I’m so tired of wrong hearts
Right lies
Breaking me piece by piece inside
I’m wishing for the right man
To finally choose me this time
(choose me this time)
[Verse 2]
My friends say be patient
But they don’t hear me crying through the wall
I laugh at the dinners
Then drive home and feel nothing at all
I’m scared to hope but I still do
There’s a quiet space saved next to
My side of this empty bed
Where I keep replaying in my head
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Really loved
Held like I’m the only one
Kissed like there’s a sunrise
Every time the night is done
I’m so tired of wrong hearts
Right lies
Breaking me piece by piece inside
I’m wishing for the right man
To finally choose me this time
(oh, choose me)
[Bridge]
Will he see the stories
In every scar I try to hide?
Will he stay on the hard days
When I flinch and run inside? (yeah)
I’m learning to leave the door unlocked
Trusting that love can still knock
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Really loved
Held like I’m the only one
Kissed like there’s a sunrise
Every time the night is done
I’m so tired of wrong hearts
Right lies
God
Send me someone who’ll stay and fight
I’m wishing for the right man
Who looks at me and gets it right
(choose me this time)
(choose me this time)
